What's the difference: window cranks
Specifically 1967 and 1968. Despite what all the repro parts vendors claim, 1967 and 1968 window cranks are not the same. 67 (on the right in the photos) is one-year only. 68-up is on the left.

OK, so the external "appearance" design is different - fine. What about the actual (I don't know the exact word I'm looking for) - toothed/serrated cogwheel contained in the handle which attaches to the manual window mechanism? Are the two years interchangeable, irrespective of external design?

It looks to me the 68 and up has a bit more meat to get you hand on (coming from a guy with catchers mitts for hands) . The differences are quite subtle to the untrained eye .Something ill look for at the car shows this summer

You could take a '67 handle and put it on a '37.

The one on the left with the thinner arm and larger gap is the 68-up design

I am talking about behind the ****, in front of the handle. Remember, your grip does not change going in the circle, but the handle position relative to your fingers does. If you are holding around the back side of the 67 **** on the side the arm isn't, and go around one half rotation, you can catch yourself.
