Correct window cranks for 1970?

The window cranks on the '70 I'm working on appear to be cheap repops for a 1st gen. Arms are too shallow and almost hit the upper door panel. What is correct for this year and where can I get them? Tried Ricks 2nd Gen and the catalog shows the same part# as a first gen (?!) Anyone know the real score?

Thtanks,

Ditto what COPO said, genuine used GM is the way to go.

Depending on if you have the Deluxe Interior, the handles are different than the Standard Interior ( google both and it's easy to spot the difference ) . If you have the standard interior, I believe oart number 9717838 is what you need for Standard interior. The ones in this ebay listing would be correct. - Also note that the clear knobs were correct for Camaro ( all used ones look yellow/brown ).

Thanks for posting that pic Mark! Now I can see the reason for the differences! The car I'm working on is a '70 Z28 with the std. interior, hence the need for a crank with the angle to clear the upper door panel without the spacer yours has.

There seem to be several part numbers changes on the window cranks over the years with no visual differences that I can tell but there definitely is 2 diiferent styles as Mark (COPO) posted above.

Below is a eBay link to an NOS window crank. This is the same GM part number (20037597) I purchased for my 'Standard' Interior car a few years ago and it matched my originals.
