Window Regulator ??s

Hey guys, it's been a while. Still have the SC now I'm tryin to get rid of the truck because I'm moving to Arizona! Both window regulators on my 95 are shot..my question is, are they all the same? or do I have to get them for my specific year?
Thanks!

SC400 and SC300 are different. 92-94 years are the same and 95-00 are same.

Yep, don't waste your money on a used one of these.

Or repair them using the wire/coathanger method that was outlined in one of these threads. If you take it out and look at it, that repair makes a ton of sense. If I had more time I would've done something more complication, but a good metal repair will hold up quite well. I did this 2 months ago, and the window works perfect.

My rebuilt is literally unbreakable. Trust me. Metal will last far longer than plastic.

Well for mine, the wire snapped. It was all tangled up and retarded so it worked extra hard and then one day boom. The plastic on mine was fine but the wire was shot
