Who makes the power window kit - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The truck I just got has a couple issues I want to tackle.

The first is the vent windows which I posted about yesterday.

The second is with the power window kit the PO put on the truck. The drivers side window only went down a few inches and hit some resistance and stopped. I pulled the door panel off last night and everything looks ok. With just a little pressure on top of the window it goes down fine. I will do some searching on this site to find a way to either lubricare the channels or decide if I need to replace them if they are the cause.

My question is about the power window kit already on this truck. It is different than any I have seen. It uses a cable that loops around what I believe is the stock window crank splined shaft where the handle would go and when you hit the button, it spins the shaft and raises or lowers the window.

Who makes this? I have looked in all the catalogs and sites I know of and none show a kit like this. It is probably a cheap universal kit. It had a small round cover that went over this assembly where the stock crank would have gone but it must have come off during transit. I need to get another one.

I dont have any pics. But can pull it back apart if the above isnt enough.

Thanks for the input. That looks like a good option if I decide to replace the kit that is already in the truck.

But I was hoping to find out who makes the kit I already have.

Never mind. I believe I just found the kit. Or at least a newer version of what I have. Looks like it may be made by Spal. So it is definitely not a cheap kit. I have used Spal fans on many of the cars I have put together in the past.

Although I do not see the caps I was talking about. At least now I know what I have.

LMC sells that kit. I don't know who makes it but I might be able to find the inst. sheet if I ever get back to the shop with all this weather. I put one on a 63 I had at one time. It worked real good.

I went with the A1electric windows. They were great people to deal with, and the windows are just like a factory replacement. Dump the cable ones, OR figure out a system to keep fixing them. There is no comparison in quality.
