Re: window cranks
yes and no. the gears wear out and dont mesh sometimes. also the holes that hold the gears wear out too. you can drill out the place where the one gear is held on at and possible put a new gear in there. or MAYBE rebuild. i don't know i havent tried. i threw away the one i was going to take apart and mess with.

Re: window cranks
New Window Regulators are available from Dennis Carpenter. You'll find them on page 81 of their Catalog. $100.00 for "Original Tooling" (think OEM Ford) or $50.00 for Chinese made. 67 Trucks are different from 68 through 72 so keep that in mind IF you decide to order them. Mine are in the same condition as yours and I can't afford to replace them now so it's spray some WD40 on them time when the regulators get an attitude.
1970, 2WD, F-250, C/S, Dual Tanks, 390 FE (of course), C6, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Dana 60 3.73, Sky View Blue, Ranger XLT
1970, 2WD, F-250, C/S, A/C, Dual Tanks, 390 FE (again, of course), C6, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Dana 60 3.73, Wimbledon White & Sky View Blue, Ranger (almost twin brothers!)

Re: window cranks
I was lucky enough to catch some NOS regulators on ebay. 
I think I paid somewhere around $20 plus shipping for each of them.
Those deals don't come along every day, though...

Why is it that there's seldom time to fix it right the first time, but there's always time to fix it right the second time???
That's not an oil leak
That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!!

Re: window cranks
thanks everyone i think even though my truck is a 67 i think it has 68 doors as it has the armrest and the grip handle as opposed to the lever type opener.
