any preference on aftermarket doorhandles for a 67
 

thinking about buying aftermarket (original style) chrome outside door handles for my 67, is there one brand that is nice than another ? or are they all made in the same place ? also what has to be done to make these work on the 67's i know something is different about the mounting points just not sure what it is ?

I can say one thing, they all start pitting in about 3 months if your truck is outside. By 6 months, you'll wonder why you even bothered. :waah:

I'll add that they're all made with plastic at the mounting points which can and likely will fail in short order. Might be worth looking into finding a decent used set of 67's and having them re-chromed....NOS 67's are worth 300 on the low end for a pair....

do you have any....i have a pretty decent set off of my truck but the potmetal is cracked around the spring deals and when they go to take them apart it is going to just break off

NOS 67's are impossible to fine I have been looking for years. I might have a extra set of used I would have to do some digging

The 67 outside handles have mounting points that are angled vs. all the other years which are straight

I will check in my box as well to see if there are any 67's in there....

thanks for everyones help

Yes 67 is by itself. Inside door handles, outside handles, vent windows and also upper door hidge id different. Im not saying a complete hidge want work, but you cant use the door catch off newer years on a 67.
The door has extra bracket welded in the inside that makes the door Handle different.
Just in case anybody didnt know.
