VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1937-1945 window crank

Will a 39 window crank (handle) fit a 38? I just broke mine getting it off I need the dark brown to match the rest.

Don't know about the interchange but can you JB Weld yours and touch it up with a bit of chome paint until you find a replacement? Beamer

I took the keeper off and it wouldn't come off the shaft. I tried evcerything and finally got to rough and broke it. I'm trying to install the fuzzy window strips.

You have the mottled brown knobs?

Yes. The venders are saying a 38 has Ivory knobs. Mine don't. I would rather have Ivory but don't want to replace 6 handles.

I broke it in the female spline. It's gone !!

COT40s has replacement window crack knobs in brown and ivory,5.25 ea...

If a 39 won't fit a 38 I guess I'll buy the 38 Ivory AND a BROWN knob..Thanks

Main window or vent window? Either way I bought a handful of '38 Master crank handles a while back. I believe I have a serviceable crank handle I can send you. I know you've sent me stuff in the past but I don't have your mailing address. PM me with it and I'll get a care package headed your way.

Thanks. You have mail

Steve You know that you have over the years been trying to convert your 38 MASTER to a Deluxe ..Soo why don't you buy a set of Ivory crank handles & knobs so it will match the other phony Deluxe stuff you have and then put the Mottled Brown original crank knobs & backing plates on the "for sale" forum and help someone out who needs them ...That will offset your cost and help someone out who wants to retain the originaty of their car....A WIN...WIN.. ED

Steve, You could aways put the new ivory set of handles on your Christmas wish list. Just leave it where your better half can find it.

6 handles plus escutcheons plus shipping =$300

I agree it would look much better than dark brown. Maybe if I could search Ebay and gets a set for $200 I might do it.

I'd love to have the Deluxe wheel,but that's as far as I'll go. I don't want the knee action. I'm running out of projects on my old coupe. I put the welting and fuzzy window strips in, which I had been planning to do for a while now. The things that are left are not going to happen more than likely. The paint job ($6k) is not going to happen and fixing the chatter in my clutch is to big a job for me without a lift (deduct for old age),so I'm getting where I can't think of anything else except maybe a flashy polished twin intake or Chromed Pekat Visor. I guess after three years of tinkering and spending money it might be over.

I need a camera, my cheap junker finally quit. I started to buy one but was told Santa had one in his bag.

Beware of funny looking guys in weird red outfits & beards bearing gifts......ED

Steve, there are a pair of 38 window cranks on Ebay for less than $5.00...they are listed as 37's but are 38 Master handles...item no. 271104560328....4 days remaining on bids..Billu38

You mean THIS guy???

Tiny.......Santa is supposed to be pulled around in a sled pulled by reindeer's...not Harlie's HO HO HO >>>ED

I saw those but COT40s says a 37 won't fit a 38. Are they wrong?

As he said they aren't '37s. They are mis-labled '38s. They are mighty crusty though. If you can get them for the minimum bid they're probably worth the money.

Im in the race.

chrome handle was the same for 37/38, knobs were different, 39 handle is bigger with a different spline shaft, c clip groove was moved.

Mike, Your crank handles looks filmuler I may have a set of them? I will get back to you later today.
Or why buy all six handles, you only broke one. Buy the one complete handle in ivory & buy five ivory knobs & put them on the other five. I changes all of my brown knobs on my 1939 master 85 to deluxe rose. Much cheaper...

Nope, I thought I nay have a set, but mine are not the same. Knobs look very close, but mine probably aren't Chevy handles.

Steve, another pair of 38 Chevy Master interior handles on E-bay this morning...$17.00 start..look somewhat better than the other pair but may need a squirt of WD-40...Billu38
