The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks Decent Wing Window Handles?

Just broke my driver's side repop wing handle. That's both sides now, and the passenger side broke when I was trying to install the pin! Got these from a reputable truck parts dealer, with whom I've been satisfied otherwise. Anyone know of a source of GOOD repops, or perhaps be able to tell me that there are good used ones that don't need rechromed,maybe out west?

For some NOS I would try giving Obsolete Parts a call down in Ga. Ty has a lot of NOS stuff and it isn't always in his catalog. Other than that your at the mercy of the vendors which do carry them. Give JimCarter a call since he is close to you....maybe put and AD in the Parts Wanted forum and see if a bolter may have a nice set.

I found these for you.

Thanks for the heads up. I suppose I'd better get used to the idea of rechroming a set of originals!

Your post did not say how they broke was it the pin that keep the handle on? If so, one thing you may try is slowly re-drilling the pinway grove for a bigger rod/pin. The original was a small hollow tube when was split down the length. Up grade to a harden material.

If the handle it self broke thet must be something restricting and causing serious drag, it take a bit of pressure to move those things.

Hey Ratskin, what do you won't to pay for a set of NOS GM vent handles? Thanks, Hobert

These broke the casting, right where the pin goes through. I've got new rubber, and was probably using too much pressure to try to lock them. Hobert, you've got a PM.
