All new door handles going in..

[bkboatnsleds]

Going to be a pain in my ass.. But I got all new door handles (Smooth finish) and had them all painted to match my truck.

So today I am going to put them in. Pain in the but taking off all the door panels... But should look nice when she's done!

Congrats! Your truck is getting some attention this week! Can't wait to see it. It is going to look great!

i did that same thing some time ago. more effort taking the door panels off than anything. handles are smooth, instead of grainy

 

[polobuds]

been thinking about doing this as well. interested in seeing the process and how it turns out. pics please!

Yeah, post some pics. Sounds like one more thing I didn't know existed and now can't possibly live with out.

Sorry have not done them yet. All the handles are back front my paint guy (Free of charge! ) I just have not had time to put them on yet b/c I know its going to be a pain in the ass... and I have been busy building a bar stool racer

Pics will come this week

really?
it doesnt look like a PITA, only a couple nuts or bolts that hold them in and the lock rods unless there's more to it than I imagined

Welp - put them all in this weekend.. Looks great, Actually was not bad at all. Back doors were cake, front doors were a little more difficult.. Maybe took about an hour start to finish.

dude i hear you. when i feel something will be a PITA, I usually procrastinate. Glad you finally got around to doing it.

That's not long at all. Where are the finished photos?

i did mine with escalade handles. my doors were a pain in the ass. i had to use my dremel to cut the rivets cuz they were rusted on and they wouldnt side out. also had to use a metal pin to hammer out the rivets.

 

[bkboatnsleds]

Where were there rivets?
