    What would be a good (longer) alternative to the little SHORT factory 32 ford PU window cranks. They have no leverage and the new gl*** and felts are a little tight even after lube with dry graphite. Done want any billet aluminum but maybe a later (40 ford PU maybe) one that is a little longer and uses a square shaft regulator and still looks vintage. Thanks

    I think 32/33/34 Ford p***enger car handles are longer than a pickup.

    Later models have longer cranks with same size square hole. Did the window regulator get greased real good. And the lower gl*** channel. Might check if the lower channel is dragging on the felt up rights. Gl*** could be off set a bit

    A lot of guys use 40 Ford handles.

    I also used them in my '32 sedan. HRP

    Everything greased, gl*** definitely dragging a little. Everything came in a kit but the felts might be thicker than originals.

    So you just used the set screw against the square to hold them on ? Looks good
