1964 Travelall - Tailgate Regulator Coil Spring

My big, wound coil spring that lives with the power window regulator has broken and become un-sprung. The culprit to my tailgate glass not wanting to raise up without killing the little power motor. And so I ask....
- anyone know if these springs are available anywhere?
- anyone know where International sourced these window regulators back in the 60's? (were they a GM or Ford unit perhaps?).
- I have purchased a spring that fits a 60's corvette; but it is too weak a spring to help raise that large rear back glass.
- and that spring I purchased was designed to have its "hook" in a different location that the original.
- anyone have a good used spring for sale?

Thanks!
 
I imagine that's what is going on with mine as well...Rolls down fine and quickly... but sending it back up requires a lot of manual "help". Please let me know if you find a solution! Todd Osborn
 
Hello!

I did succeed! What a pain it was to find a replacement spring.
Seems that old Studebaker Wagon Tailgates had a match of a spring! Here is where I found one:

Studebaker International
97 North 150 West
Greenfield, IN 46140-8562
(317) 462-3124

Good luck!
