Window crank handles different lengths

I was going through my parts stash today and came across my window crank handles. I have two sets and they are about 3/4 inch different in from each other. Was that a model year change item? If so, when did the changeover occur. These look to be off a 66ish model.

Might be off an A-100. I don't know if the crew cab had shorter handles but, someone will chime in. Craig

I am not sure but I think mid 65 they went to the shorter one.

They shrink with age.

Good one! ....
You'd think they'd make them longer for all
our aged and tired arms.

Lol, the short ones make it seem like the window goes down faster. less arm action required to open window. really just spinning a smaller circle

I bought a pair of NOS window cranks and yes, the earlier version was different than the later. I will have to go back and check but my 64 came with the early versions.
