Can't answer for other vendors but I got mine from GMC Pauls. Went in great and works perfectly.

Good to know.

The best were sold by GM but try finding a new pair;) OT, does anyone rebuild OEM?

Re: Widow regulator
 

I believe mine were Dynacorn brand, and have been great.

Brothers used to sell a rebuild kit for the window crank gearboxes, but since they got bought out by Holley, I don't know...
LMC Sells the small ~1/2'' white nylon/plastic wheels that run inside the track. Most of the original OEM ones turn to square bits of cracked inorganic matter, that jams in the window track channels. Especially if exposed to 50+ years of AZ sun.
If you do rebuild the Regulator, beware the crank spring. I was afraid of it enough to just buy a fresh one from GMC Paul.

[Of course it's best not to try regulating a Widow. Best to let her grieve in her own time. Maybe, if you're gentle, she'll come around in time.]

I'm with 68 orange sunshine, Az sunshine is hell on plastic parts. I replaced both my '69 and '71 regulators from Vintage parts of az . I think they were Counterpart and they work great

All three of my C/K's had the same bind up - the first few inches (driver side only) where a gentle helping second hand is needed to push 'er down to get over that hump. For now, I'll just leave mine as is.
