Source for quality window crank handles? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am in need of a set of decent quality window crank handles. Does anybody know who sells the best? (Looking for original factory design, not a custom design).

Thanks!

You can still buy them NOS from GM. Worked on Vans etc into the 90's . I wont buy any of the $6 - $15 handles as they are all crap. The GM handle is $60 but its good. Or find NOS on ebay . 20348200 is the OEM number. Look on ebay you never know

As mentioned above, they were used in vans w/o power windows for years. I found several near mint window cranks and door handles in the local junkyard for a buck or two.

There was a post about a month ago about some identical-to-GM Door Handles made for US-built Volvo Trucks. They were USA-made and a lot cheaper.

There may also be Volvo truck Window Cranks out there.

Funny you mention these Volvo truck door handles. I actually got a pair of them and now want to find window cranks that look just as good as these handles do.

IKR. I just ordered a pair of Volvo handles last night. I EBay-emailed the seller asking if he had the window cranks too. No word back yet. Could be out there. You'ld think they go together.

Grabbed 3 of those Volvo handles for my ‘burban. Thanks for posting. Still looking for a quality outer door handle for the 3rd door..

Andy, those cranks look like they belong in the Art Deco Advanced Design era [47-54].
4SpdWgn, My Suburban is a '67 -- the handles are slightly slimmer than the 68-72 ones.

I just typed in Volvo and they popped up. I didn't like them either but thought I would post them.

Maybe Volvo semi tractors have electric windows, so they don't need a window crank. IDK.

My Volvo handles came today. Look super. Well made.

No word back on window cranks.

I just bought a pair that look like originals off the shelf at O'Reileys .

**dmjlambert** · 10-18-2019, 09:50 PM

Can you post a picture of what the package looks like, and how do they fit?

flashed · 10-18-2019, 09:55 PM
