Billet door handles?

Did I read somewhere someone was making billet door handles for our trucks? You can polish billet as shiny as chrome cant you?

Yes there is a thread on here in the last day or so about the billet door handles. He even has a video of those being milled.

Found it for you.

Re: Billet door handles?

Thanks for finding that for me. I'm pretty old school when it comes to things, and billet is something that I don't really care for ( to each their own lol)... but I think if you painted that little cut out body color and shined the whole thing up it would look pretty darn good. And its all brand new. I hear the repros aren't that great and NOS is up to the same price as a pair of those.

You are welcome man. I have managed to find NOS door handles on this site but even I'd be tempted for a set of those billets.

I'm just going to use a rusty coat hanger around the door handle to the gas cap that should keep the door closed ,Not that it matters much the window is stuck down ... .
