1956 Ford Truck Power Window Kit

Stock channels. New motors. Windows that move. The original regulator in a 1956 door has been lifting glass for seventy years. The teeth are rounded; the pivots are dry and the handle takes both hands and a shoulder. This kit replaces both front door regulators with powered units and new ACI motors. They bolt into the original mounting holes and run in the stock channels; the door skin stays untouched. Nu-Relics builds the regulators on 1018 cold roll steel; bronze Oilite thrust bearings at the pivots and 4130 heat treated gear plates. That is a regulator built to outlast the one it replaced. Switch style is yours - chrome; black illuminated; nostalgic; FTFG or the Nu-Crank that hides behind a clip on handle. Add a switch kit and the conduit comes free. The ACI motors are reverse polarity. Match the switches to them and the wiring is straightforward.

  • Uses the stock channels - no channel swap and no cutting; the glass runs where it always did.
  • Original mounting holes - the regulator bolts in where the factory one came out.
  • New ACI motors - new units rather than rebuilds; that is what buys you the next decade of use.
  • 4130 heat treated gear plates - the gear teeth are the part that wears; these are treated for it.
  • Ten switch configurations - from a hidden Nu-Crank to illuminated console switches.
  • Lifetime warranty - backed with your receipt.

Install Level: Moderate

Bolts into original mounting holes; uses stock channels.
ACI motors are reverse polarity motors and require reverse polarity switches.
Add a switch kit and conduit is included at no additional charge. With no switches selected motor plugs and terminals are included.
If you choose Nu-Crank switches consider adding a master switch to control other windows.
Fuse or circuit breaker: 30 amp. Most harnesses ship with an in-line 30 amp fuse.
Lifetime warranty; warranty requires a copy of the sales receipt or invoice.

 New ACI Motor AMP Draws

No Load amps Low Load amps High Load amps Stall amps
3 5 11 20
ACI Motors are Reverse Polarity
This means that the ground for the system must come out of the master switch. There are 2 poles on the motor - to make it operate,
you must put power to one side then ground to the other side - NOT to the motor case. This will result in the motor turning in one direction.
By swapping the wires from side to side, the direction will change.

Fuses or Circuit Breakers - 30 AMP
Most of our harnesses will come with an in-line 30 AMP fuse. If you prefer, a circuit breaker will work too.
You can hook your windows up to a varity of different power sources.
Some options are: Straight to the battery (Windows should not have any battery draw when not in use).
 Find extra slot in fuse panel - tie in using the supplied fuse.
 Pull power from the key-on side of the switch

Relays
In most cases, you will not need to use a relay to boost amperage to the motors. The switches and wiring we use can handle the amp draws.

If you are using old style 3 pole switches, a special relay is needed to reverse the polarity at the motor. These do not increase amperage,
they just swap the ground from side to side. we have these available (prewired). Call us at 336-699-8949 
for assistance.

Grease & Oil
1. On the regulator gear teeth and roller tracks, we recommend using a high temp automotive wheel bearing and chassis lubricant.
NLGI grade 2 is one option
2. Avoid the older soap based lithium grease - it sets up hard in cold weather making the windows harder to move
3. A few drops of light weight oil in the pivot points will allow the Bronze Oilite ® bushings to work smoothly and reduce wear.
4. On fuzzy runs and weather stripping - some 3M Silcone spray can help with break in
5. Use Die-Electric grease or Tuner Lube on all terminals and connections. This protects against moisture and corrosion.
