    Is the window regulator the one with a chain. If it is, Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks use a almost exact setup on there roll up windows, at least on the mid eighties trucks, I think the new ones use a cable, anyway you could bring a sample from from your pass door and maybe match something up. I have also seen this style setup in special made cabs for something like a street sweeper truck, or a yard hosteling truck, ect. Best bet would be KW or Peterbilt, you could probably modify theres to work.

    May want to check the Classifieds here. There are a pair of Myers doors, with roll up windows, for $50.

    Yea for $6.75 you can get a channel and completly destroy it trying to modify and not feel to bad about losing your $7, are those the same type of regulator you have?

    I had to replace the pass side on my 1970 Mayers top, It was completly gone.
    I used a allumaum channel with a 1/4 grove in it and a 1" angle, cut the angle to a 1" x 1/2" about 8" long, cut grove in it for the regulator pin to go in, used 2 small machine screws and nuts to put together. Used RTV to hold glass in chennel. Just use the drivers side as a patern thare is a left and right.
