Drake lists a replacement upper part of the channel (01A-7021470) which has the bump in the bottom of it for the regulator to index to. You will still need the lower guide angles which are spotwelded to make the assembly. The shape, size, and positioning is critical. You also need the regulator slide bracket, pin, and fiber washer. This is 1935-37 commercial specific. If you do not get all this stuff exactly right your window will not work exactly right. If you have the drivers side channel the passenger side is a mirror image.
The channel system was used in various arrangements 1934-40 Ford, and also many Chrysler products cars ?1935-1939? and any of the channels could provide donor parts for the lower guide angles (with slicing, dicing, and welding).
Some guide channels had curved "wicks" on the ends, some as Model51 illustrated did not. This appears to be a variance between different suppliers and either or both could appear on a given vehicle indiscriminately.
Not currently reproduced, what used to be available was through Specialized/Mac's/Eckler/Turn5 and was Argentina CRAP (identifiable by yellow zinc plating). There was a lot of NORS available though most of that has dried up.
Good Luck
