Purists wouldn't dig it but just wanted to put this out there in case there's anyone like me that isn't excited about the stock armrest/pull handle.

I got these jeep door pulls with hardware for $10 & free shipping on Amazon. I snipped off the ends of the pull strap since it's long, trimmed some rubber off the ends. and drilled holes in the strap metal. Works perfect.

The square bodies also have pull straps that look good. Looking at the square body end caps though, they wouldn't work with action line door panels.

I like ideas. Not for my 67 but my 42 which never had any. I open the window once inside to close the door. i would say from the wear, previous owners closed it by pulling the inside opener handle before I restored the truck.

Hi Dennis. The Volkswagen bus and beetle also have some nifty polished aluminum door pull handles.
