Description
About the Ford LTD II Rear Door Regulator
Need a replacement Ford LTD II rear door window regulator? Part Nests sources OEM used regulators for Ford LTD II applications from 1977 through 1979. The LTD II was Ford’s brief mid-size car built for only three model years – the shortest-produced Ford nameplate of the era. It replaced the discontinued Ford Torino (1968-1976) using the outgoing Torino platform with updated styling to align with the LTD design language. The LTD II filled the gap between Torino discontinuation in 1976 and Ford’s 1979 downsizing of the full-size LTD to mid-size footprint. Call (855) 634-4447 to verify your LTD II year (must be 1977-1979) before ordering.
Ford LTD II Historical Context (Brief Gap-Filler)
- Torino replacement: The LTD II was introduced for 1977 to replace the discontinued Ford Torino (1968-1976), which had covered Ford’s mid-size role through the muscle car era including the Torino GT and Torino Cobra
- Torino-derived platform: Used the outgoing Torino platform with updated LTD-styled bodywork. Body-on-frame construction typical of 1970s American mid-size cars, with the heavy steel proportions of the era
- Three-year production 1977-1979: One of Ford’s shortest-produced nameplates. Parts availability today is limited due to the short run
- Discontinued for 1979 restructuring: Ford downsized the full-size LTD to mid-size footprint in 1979, which eliminated the need for a separate LTD II mid-size offering
- Naming rationale: “LTD II” leveraged LTD brand equity while differentiating from the full-size LTD, similar to Ford’s approach with Bronco II

Ford LTD Multi-Era Context (Important Distinction)
- Different LTD eras use different rear door regulators. The LTD II is distinct from all other LTD variants
- Original LTD full-size 1965-1978: Ford’s full-size line, initially a Galaxie variant 1965-1968 then standalone. Body-on-frame full-size construction. Different regulator than the LTD II
- LTD II mid-size 1977-1979 (this listing): Torino-derived mid-size three-year gap-filler
- LTD mid-size 1979-1986: Fox-body platform mid-size after Ford downsized the LTD. Different regulator
- LTD Crown Victoria 1980-1991: Full-size continuation of the original LTD line on the Panther platform. Often shares regulators with the original LTD full-size
- Crown Victoria 1992-2011: The famous American police car for 20+ years – continued the Panther platform without the LTD prefix

Ford's brief mid-size car replacing the discontinued Ford Torino (1968-1976). Introduced for 1977 using the outgoing Torino platform with LTD-styled bodywork. Body-on-frame construction typical of 1970s American mid-size cars. Only three model years of production, making it one of Ford's shortest-produced nameplates. Discontinued when Ford downsized the full-size LTD to mid-size footprint for 1979.
302 cubic inch V8 (5.0L Windsor) as the base engine, and 351 cubic inch V8 (5.8L Cleveland or Windsor depending on year) for higher power. V8 only across production - no inline-six offering, which was unusual for the era. Transmissions were C4 three-speed automatic (base) or C6 three-speed automatic (heavier duty). RWD only.
Different LTD eras use different rear door regulators. The original LTD full-size (1965-1978) is a different body-on-frame platform. The LTD II (1977-1979, this listing) is Torino-derived mid-size. The LTD mid-size (1979-1986) is Fox-body. The LTD Crown Victoria (1980-1991) is Panther-platform full-size. The Crown Victoria (1992-2011) continued the Panther platform. Specify the LTD II era when ordering.
Four-door sedan (most common - this application), two-door coupe (Brougham and S variants for personal luxury and sporty positioning), and station wagon (limited production for family use). Trim levels were Base LTD II, LTD II Brougham (upscale luxury), and LTD II S and Sport variants.
It existed only as a gap-filler between two transitions. Ford discontinued the Torino for 1976 but had not yet downsized the full-size LTD, so the mid-size segment needed coverage. When Ford downsized the LTD to mid-size for 1979, the new LTD covered the mid-size role and the LTD II became redundant. Discontinued after 1979.
Cable or gear mechanism failure - scissor-type regulators have worn gear teeth; roller-track regulators have frayed cables. Regulator binding from dried grease, especially common on 45+ year old parts. Glass channel wear causing the glass to shift or bind. Mounting hardware corrosion. Symptoms include a window that will not raise or lower, binds during travel, drops when closed, or makes audible grinding during operation.
Ford LTD multi-era door hinge covering original full-size, LTD II, Fox-body mid-size, LTD Crown Victoria, and Crown Victoria eras. Ford Falcon (Ford's first compact car and the Mustang platform ancestor). Ford Fairmont (Fox-body platform's first application before the Mustang got Fox-body for 1979). Ford Freestar (Ford's last minivan).
