Billet Window Cranks and Door Handles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

muddpile · 01-27-2005, 01:28 AM

Has anyone ever used the billet specialties window cranks and door handles on stock 72 molded plastic door panels? I've seen them on the Roddoors panels lots, but never on a set like mine. They look to have a smaller shank near the door, leading me to believe that they may leave a small gap around the edge of the crank and handle. Maybe the stock units have a ridiculously ovesied plate on the back, I'm sure, as I haven't taken mine off, but pics of stock panels and custom hardware would help me so much. Thanks!

OEM looks better and is easy.
$0.02

I dont know that they look better but they are just as common.

They will fit on the stock panels without a gap, they actually fit tighter than the factory ones on my panels. They are spendy though.

Yeah. They look really good in my opinion, but I'm still trying to justify the cost. They sure ain't cheap for four little pieces of aluminum, but I guess, happiness costs money sometimes...

They don't advertise it much but they also have billet door lock knobs to match the handles and cranks.

I will definitely do the lock pins. They look so much better than the plastic chrome ones I have now.
