Does anyone know the size of the set screw for the door handle and window crank for a 66? These have the set screw on the side, not in the middle. Thanks.

I just replaced one but don't remember for sure. I think it was 8/32. I went with stainless allenhead.

Yep 8/32 thanks, now off to post in the wanted ads to see if anyone has another 66 window crank and door handle. Now that this one is on tight I can’t just take it off and switch to the other door when I need to roll a window up...

Do you have an image of the correct positioning for the door handle and the window crank on a 66? No matter what position I have the door Handel in it looks out of place or seems to close to the window crank.

Checkout the 1966 Bronco Training video on Youtube, at one point they show the inside door area, but the video is blurry. From what I can tell on the ones that I'm fairly certain that are still in the original locations, the driver door with window up, both handles in the 2 o'clock position, and the passenger door in the 10 o'clock position. There's got to be some original Ford Company pics out there somewhere.
