Inside Door & Window Handle ?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm pretty sure they do, but will all 50's thru 60's truck door & window handles fit on our trucks?

i.e. are the shaft slots the same for all those years?

I`m about as sure as you are.I know they swap around in the 60/70s cars and trucks.I have an old pair of winders (40s) I should check that with.

Yes, they will. My wife's truck has tri-five Chevy cranks and handles.

Thanks.....that's what I needed to know. Looking at changing to another GM style.

The details keep me awake at night, you know, window cranks, steering wheels, etc.

You are very interior swapability focused

.I have a sun visor question...
Those are the handles I have.I had a`55 wagon,they`re left overs.I know when I bought that car there was no glovebox door latch and it drove me crazy having the door lay open.The hole looked the same as the button on my`55 1st pickup.Sure enough,the same part.Then,I looked at my`71...yep,same-same.This is one thing that got me hooked on Chevys/GMs.
My`67 GMC will have a`65 car wheel,`55 door handles,`69 Camaro in dash tach,and I have a Delco AM out of who knows what that fits perfect.I`m having it rebuilt into an AM/FM-CD/MP3/XM ready 180w stereo.The radio was in my`72 K2500 when I bought it.

I know what you mean, I love how many parts interchange on Chevys. They're like big Lego sets.

The same glove box locks that fit our trucks were used in all GM cars from 1940-1957 and GM trucks from 1954 to 1972. The only difference is after 1966 they used a different keyway.

Thanks Leon,I have a thing for locking latches,too.Good to know since most lock guys prolly don`t know that (unless there`s some kind of list you use).

Another thing about GMs and swapping parts around.They look right when you do it.
