64 Galaxie wagon tailgate parts!

Hi All,

This looks like a great place to share info and tech. Our family car is a 64 Galaxie Country Sedan wagon. We LOVE it! It has a fresh T-bird 390, sleeper city! Always a shock to people when you open her up.

Anyway, my only problem is with the tailgate window. What a surprise! One of the regulator rollers broke, and it aint working now. It's the little plastic part (blue in our car) that attaches the window to the regulator arm and rolls from one side to the other as the window goes up or down. Any of you folks know where I can find such a part? I have exhausted all the usual resources, and am considering fabricating something. Any suggestions? Know anybody who is parting out any 62-64 Fomoco wagons? I'm betting that they all use the same roller part.

HELP!

Try Mac's Antique Auto parts. You should see their banner ad while viewing this forum. Otherwise their link is http://www.macsautoparts.com.

Hi E long,

I had looked through Mac's before and had not found it. Since you recommended them, I tried again and lo and behold, there it is! Thanks for the help.

That is good news! I just received my box-o-goodies I ordered from Mac's last week. Can't wait for the 3-day weekend so I can spend some quality time with my Gal.
