Have a 1965 coronet. Are the front and rear window crank handles the same?
This car was in pieces and these are the only ones I have.
I'm not sure if I need one of each or 3 longer ones.

Thanks for the info

Shorter ones are for the rear, at least for 1966.

I've found however, that the longer ones work MUCH better in the rear, as they give you more leverage.
(66 has a convoluted movement and the extra leverage helps a lot)

Not sure why they came that way from the factory, as there's plenty of clearance.
 
They were all the long cranks. The short is for C-bodies wing windows. The short ones in the rear got there by mistake, or to keep building cars.
 
I don't know about 65, but 66 was shorter in the rear and not as short as the C body vent windows.

That's what it looked like. Vent knob would be even shorter than both.
Now just need to find one of each
 
I have some window cranks if you need them
