I have a 1950 3800 series Chevy. The original window crank handles came with chrome knobs, but one is missing. Seems like all the new ones from various vendors all come with black knobs. Are the crank handles with chrome knobs available from any place? Thanks, Tom
I am willing to bet that if you posted in the "Truck Parts Wanted" section here that a fellow Stovebolter has a decent pair of original chrome handles/knobs looking for a good home. Best wishes in your search.

Thanks for the notice on the handles. Wasn't able to get to the ebay site until it was too late - I will keep looking though. I know you could buy the chrome knobs a while back, wish that was still an option.
Well it was worth the wait, went to an all GM car & truck show yesterday in St. Paul and the swap meet there had an almost perfect inside window crank handle for my 1950 Chevy 1 ton with the chrome knob. Exactly what I was looking for, picked it up for $5. One was lost years ago so I finally have them for both doors. Didn't want the black knob ones (which is all you can get now days), so I was happy to find the proper crank handle. Tom
Your post reminded me that I also wanted the same window cranks for my ‘50. I was able to track a pair of them from a fellow bolter from Canada.
Now I need to polish the inside door handles to make them as bootyful.
