Window Regulator Frozen

Window Regulator Frozen
I have a 1982 Dodge D350 with manual crank windows. The other day I rolled up the drivers window and today it won't budge. It feels frozen in place and gives no indication it will move. Last year I greased it up and it cranked smoothly, until today. I have removed the inside door panel and sprayed some Blaster on some of the joints, but it doesn't seem to help. I have looked for a replacement window regulator on the web, but they are all power window regulators, not manual. Any suggestions where to get a manual window regulator or if there are suggestions on on freezing the current regulator. Thanks!

Crazzywolfie, when I shine a light inside and up, while holding a hand mirror, the glass appears to be on track and all of the mechanisms seem ok. The window looks like it is in the front and rear tracks. What are the indications of it not being in the tracks?
Would slamming the door hard make it the windows get off track?
Photos, looking up from the bottom of the door.

Not yet, I will do that later today. I really hate taking off the interior paneling, I think its going to snap one of these days.
As of this a.m., I have let the Blaster break down the rust for about 12 hours and the handle now barely rotates, with a loud "ka-chunk" kind of noise, but the window still won't budge. Before, I could not get the handle to even rotate.
