Window crank handle

I'm wanting to put some window crank handles for a late 60s Bronco in my truck because these are 100% metal and really slick in style (ford factory style but with a metal ****). Will they fit on my 97 F250?

The 80-86 F-series and 60's-1991 E-series vans had nice metal cranks as well, with a clear ****.

Those will swap over as alot have done, their nicer, and last longer.

D3AZ-6523342-A .. Window Crank Handle-Chrome with Clear Plastic **** / Obsolete ~ Available from NAPA, indie and etc autoparts stores.

1973/89 Econoline / 1980/89 F100/350 & Bronco // 1973 Mustang/Cougar / 1973/76 Torino/Montego F/R doors / 1973/77 Maverick/Comet F/R doors / 1973/78 LTD/Marquis/Grand Marquis F/R doors.

1973/79 Ranchero / 1974/79 Cougar F/R doors / 1977/79 LTD II (not an LTD!) F/R doors / 1977/79 Thunderbird.

Junkyards...get 'em from the rear doors of sedans, far better condition .. far less usage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Early Bronco: 1966 used the same window crank handle as 1961/66 trucks, retained to window regulator w/a set screw located on side of handle.

1967 handle 1967 only. 1968/77 handle came without the ****, as 5 different colors were offered. To install **** on handle: Place handle in vise, insert **** on front of handle, place retainer on backside, then squeeze the parts together.

I gave customers this installation process EVERY TIME I sold one a these ***** (also used on 1968/72 cars, 1969/72 Econolines).

Some people didn't "get it" placed **** on outside of handle, retainer on backside, laid handle on the ground or work bench, then hit the **** w/a HAMMER.

Many came back the next day and bought another, because the **** had shattered. I had warned them beforehand that this would happen.

I don't know, parts catalogs doesn't list this kind of info. But, consider that the **** doesn't come with the handle (unless you buy a user), and the PITA rigmarole you have to go thru to install the ****.

Handle and colored ***** same: 1968/77 Bronco - 1968/69 Galaxie/LTD/Fairlane/Torino/Falcon/Comet - 1969 Mustang/Cougar - 1968/72 F100/750 - 1969/72 Econoline - 1970 Maverick.
