1978 J10 Truck Info
 

Hello,

A friend has a 1978 J10 pickup with driver's side window off track or busted
loose - not sure exactly yet. I'm looking for any diagrams or photos of the
guts of this door before we go in to assess the repair, so we can
reconstruct things. Or point me to a good data and/or parts source.

Our Jeep dealers are clueless since they only have info back as far as 1984,
and I'm not sure if the manuals I've seen on Ebay, etc. have enough detail.

I guess if we have to, we could tear into the passenger's side door for
comparison. Any knowledge we can glean from this group would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

-Ru$$ (1989 YJ)

Re: 1978 J10 Truck Info
 

Thanks for the reply Earle.

We found some good diagrams on a wikipedia link on the page you recommended,
disassembled, welded the window base metal back the regulator bracket and
now he's back in business!

Thanks again,
