What Does This Vent Crank Belong To?

[Rick A.]

GM Part #4304449 - checked my Vette Parts Catalogue and don't see this listed for any 1953 - 1971 Vette, so what do they belong to?

Where are you getting the part number from? If it's from the rear of the zinc diecast arm component of vent crank handle, that's not the part number for a finished, complete part---it's just the part number for this component. That component, never available seperately, may be used to make up the finished, complete handle for more than one application. So, it cannot be positively ID'ed by that number.

From what I can tell, that number was never used for a finished, complete part. However, based on the number, I'd say that the piece that it was a component of was for some mid-60's application, possibly but not necessarily for a Chevrolet vehicle.

Joe,

thanks for the repsonse - gentleman on EBay selling an "original" set of vent cranks and I asked him what the numbers were (if any) on the inside of the cranks and that is the only # he provided

Joe, Part number block 4300242 thru 4309999 was originally assigned to the Ternstedt Division and later reassigned to Fisher Body.

Art,

thanks for the response - so, conceivably it could be assigned to a vent window crank?

FYI - reason I ask, when I originally posted I checked my Corvette only part catalogue dated January 1976 and could find nothing like this number - number I find for the vent crank is 4775786 - the gentleman who posted on EBay insists that is the number and both of his 1963's have the same numbers cranks
