Another option I was considering is to do the following;

LMC sells the band for a Blazer

at $149.00 and then convert my handle to inside release using something like this.

So it would look like this when finished.

Hey you guys thanks for all the offers...

However I kind of like this look. has anyone else tried this application?

I've got a blazer band sitting in my garage. 2 small dents. I'm probably not going to use it. Has the clips and screws.

This came up in the not so distant past and I think N2TRUX and the member that owns the truck in the picture agreed that the fit was a little off. IIRC, it sticks out a little farther than the truck version.

$149 for the Blazer and $499 for the truck???? That seems like and awfully big gap.

I hate to do this, but you guys managed to turn his request for info in to a Wanted to Buy post so I have to close it.

To answer your question the Blazer band works just fine. There is a bit of gap around the edge but it's not terrible.
