Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Yes, handle housings with a wire clip were standard from the 1940's to the late 1960's at least. Some time in the early 70's the clip was eliminated, and along with it the original 1 piece tapered wedge pin & nut was deleted and replaced with a taper plug and screw.
On the handles above it's apparent the lower handle has a recess for the wedge pin nut. The upper handle has a protruding boss, indicating it was designed for the two piece screw/wedge.
