Hi guys. Mine is a '65 cuda, original. The window cranks/door handles take a very small (SAE I assume) hex head socket. 1/4" is way too big (and the smallest I have in SAE). So i tried my 6mm, then 5 mm -- still too big. I checked year one for specialty tools, but no luck.

So, does anybody know the correct size? And, is the tool possibly thin wall to fit into the handle opening, arround the hex head? Do I need to have a vendor suggested or will this be a craftsman/kolbalt stock item?

I appreciate your knowledge. Don

Richard, I'll find a 5/32nds and try it. I suspect it will be the one. Thanks, Don.

Well, my '65 cuda ultimately took a 3/16ths (quarter inch drive) socket, once I had the chance to try various small sized sockets. Don't know if other years take the same or not.
