Grab Handles for A-Pillars

Anyone know what make the A-pillar grab handles are in the 70 k20 truck featured in the August Off Road magazine issue? I noticed them and like them. And I am in the market for Grab hanbles\bars.

Thanks
jeff

This one?

They look custom. Just a piece of tube bent with a mount on each end.

Yes, that one. Yea, could be custom. I hope not, I've been looking around on internet for grabs then saw those and I have not really located anything similar on my searches.

Thanks,
jeff

Re: Grab Handles for A-Pillars

Gerfunken, nice Handles. Thanks for the reply. Since I have minimal facilities for fabricating. Here's my solution. For anyone who is interested.

Bought a couple of these. I bought them at the turck stop near my house. http://greatamericanchromeshop.com/s...dle-p-128.html

Cut some mountain bike handle grips and slid them on.
Ground down ends and drilled two verticle holes closer to bend. Bent the ends to less severe angle. They come at about a 45. Drilled and set with 3/4" #14 sheetmetal screews. In the future I want to make sime cool custom ones. But for now: Get in hang on and SHUT UP... eeeehaw.

Re: Grab Handles for A-Pillars

I used some from a forklift. I need to find something nicer though.
