G1008-C Vertical Run Channel 1973-1980

The Fairchild Industries G1008-C is a vertical run channel designed for 1973 to 1980 GMC C/K trucks. It fits the door window track on these full-size pickups. The transparent finish matches the original glass channel appearance. This part restores smooth window operation for classic truck owners.

Transparent replacement restores original function

The channel replaces a worn or cracked factory piece to guide the window glass correctly. It prevents rattling and misalignment when raising or lowering the window. No additional hardware or adhesive is included with the channel. Installation uses the existing mounting points on the door frame.

Fits 1973 to 1980 C/K models only

The channel suits Chevrolet and GMC full-size pickups built between 1973 and 1980. It does not fit later square-body revisions or other GM truck lines. Buyers restoring a different year or model will need a different part number. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals in the material.

Questions about this item

Will the transparent grip material need replacing if it yellows or cracks over time?

The grip is made from a transparent material; exposure to sunlight and temperature cycles in a 1973-1980 GMC C/K truck cab can cause gradual yellowing or brittleness, so plan to replace the channel if clarity or flexibility is lost.

What is the first limit you hit when the window channel is used continuously in hot weather?

Prolonged heat softens the transparent channel, reducing its grip on the glass and allowing the window to rattle or slip before any mechanical wear appears.

Does the channel develop squeaks or rattles after the truck has been driven all day?

The vertical run channel is designed to cushion the glass; if the material stays pliable it remains quiet, but heat-aged or dried-out sections can start to squeak against the window frame.
