i just used half of an 83 regulator to piece my 79 back together, they measured out all most identical (the 83 was a bit bent so it was hard to tell. but i hope it helps. it is a PITA to get in and out though.

the manual regulators are the same 79-85, the power are the same 81-85.

i think the doors are the same from 81-85, the 79-80 doors have a couple of different holes for the door panel, so they are really close, but a little different
