88-98 door handles in an 84 chevy
 

Anyone have some progress pics of this process? I had a buddy do it to his truck but its been a minute or two and cant remember how he did it.

I saved this picture off e-bay. Man I would love to do this to my truck to get another facotry part that doesnt belong and looks slick.. but man around here.. houston.. 8/10 of the 88+ newer trucks have damaged sheeetmetal where jackof s have tried or broken into the trucks... I would be at a loss for actions if i did that to my truck and someone jacked up the door to get in...

so you cut the handle out of the 88 and weld it in the 80s model? I kinda figured thats what was done.

Looks out of place to me, like an afterthought. Just my .02

looks good with Eagle 225's and shaved mirrors!

ive thought about this but up where the factory handle is i think it would look better

Re: 88-98 door handles in an 84 chevy
 

that's my opinion too. I have seen newer (200-2005) Impala, buick, etc. oval style door handles on our trucks and they look real good.

Kinda going backwards aren't you - both inside and outside handles on the '88 - 98's are cast "potmetal" junk. EVERY one of these trucks I've ever owned broke at least one handle, most of 'em break both!

Thats a good point about them breaking. I just dont like the handles that are on it now. I kinda dont want to shave the handles but just worried about reliability.

You can't, they won't fit. There isn't enough room inside the door at that point. That is why you always see the below the body line which looks kinda :barf:

good point i didnt think about that

don't like em much either looks out of place. I'd rather shave it or leave ths tockers.
