That's for the right side; supposedly it's a complete assembly, minus the 
manual crank (everything in the circle in the drawing).   Ford normally 
didn't sell this as an assembly; the gearbox was one assembly (234A24), the motor 
was separate (14553), and the arm/spring/etc. was another separate part 
(23208).   The rubber hoozit that connects the motor to the gearbox is 23440.   
Those are the numbers on the Ford parts drawing.   Looking up those numbers 
elsewhere in the parts book gives the actual Ford part numbers for them, 
i.e. the gearbox is D16Y 63234A24-A for the RH side.

I believe Ford had a universal part numbering scheme, such that part 234A24 
would be the general part number for a window regulator for ANY Ford 
vehicle; then the vehicle-specific parts book would break it down further with the 
specific part number for the specific application.   Guys like Steve 
Liebenow would be much better versed in that sort of arcane knowledge and could 
perhaps shed more light on it.
