Parts book says different regulators, different bottom channel, different front channel.
But I don't see why not use the same bottom channel but saw off the front 'L', glue to the glass with polyurethane window sealant, just use bits of the stock rubber stuff to center it. Same reg should work, I don't see why a difference. Front channel could be reworked- drill the spot welds, reverse the brackets, fiddle with length, depth would be the same.
But, I'm 6'3", 1/7th ton, and I find that opening the wind wing gives me plenty of elbow room. Making a new, slimmer seat back from a piece of plywood and 2" foam helped with leg room though. I used strap hinges, trimmed an holes drilled to match the cab, and bent some strap iron for the bottom hooks, drilled fro screws to the ply.
But I've got to add seat belts- bouncing on that springy seat bottom makes my back chafe against the seat back.
