AC in house fixed and broke the next day. Guy coming out today.
Window doesn't line up right. Don't know why?
Maybe its the regulator. Works fine without weatherstripping. With weatherstripping it falls out of track. I got a new regulator for a '73 with the small 5/8" rollers. Supposed to be a '73 only item. But mine has the larger '74 and up rollers. Gonna get some large rollers and replace them in my '73 regulator.
Also gonna take a good look at the weatherstripping installation. Again, weatherstripping design called for is a '73 only. Don't know if mine is '73 or '74 and up. Don't want to buy the wrong one if it is needed.
Luckily the passenger door works fine. Might have to take it apart to see how it goes together.
Getting truck on the road again is higher priority, so this is on back burner for a while.

As frustrating as it is, it sounds like you're getting close to driving it again.
