I had em on every truck before I got a 4 door Tahoe. Love em, so much easier to open. Specially in winter when the door freezes to the seals n rips ur hand off the handle, hurts like hell. Still have a set....

Yep, have them on my flatbed, link should be in signature. Mine were crusty when I salvaged them, had them blasted and powder coated with a gloss finish.

It's cool to see that others have done this. They should of bean what was on them in the first place. You don't see to many with them wich all so makes it kinda cool to.I agree with all your statements

Where can those handles be sourced and how hard to install ? My 97 Dually needs new handles .

Re: Topkick door handles.
 

Handles are easy to find, ebay carries a few different aftermarket ones. The rods are the tricky part, my friends and I have all sourced them from wrecking yards because they're a discontinued item from GM. The light duty truck lock & latch rods will need to be replaced with the ones from the medium duty application.

The install is almost exactly like replacing a flat exterior handle, the only thing you need to be aware of is swapping the lock cylinders in the handle: driver for passenger and vice-versa, this will maintain the correct clocking.

^^^ yep. I got my handles from 1a auto then modified the lach rod. And bypasses the lock rod. I have remote start and keyes entry so it doesn't bother me that the locks are just for looks.and no longer work
