short window crank handles

[toddz69]

Working on a project truck that unfortunately has a roll cage that impedes into the travel of the standard window crank handles.

In the past, I recall there's an application from a late '60s or early '70s? Ford wagon that uses short window crank handles for the wing? windows?

Anyone know the application or perhaps a source for them?

Thanks,
Todd Z.

Todd, just cut the front of the cage off, run the tubes behind the dash and mount the dash to the cage like the race community does it. No window crank or flove box issues and looks

I know that the 63-64 Galaxy had short handle cranks for the vent windows.... looks like some later years did too.

I know Randy found a good source at one time. I recall they were vent window cranks.

I never had a car that was fancy enough to have vent window cranks. All the vent windows I ever (and still have) just have the latch.

Hahaha! I wish I could - not an option for this rig.

Thanks! That one is cheap enough to try so I bought it.

You and me both! Randy didn't know the application either but remembered there was such a thing too.

Weld a socket to them and keep a cordless impact in the center console. He'll have power windows that way.

all else fails convert them to power windows!

Exactly. But do both.
Electric windows, but with the shorter knob thingy to do the work. Acts as the switch.
Looks retro cool and works sweet.
