Re: new model door handles on our trucks?
How many of you have a friend that has had his 88-up truck broken into/stolen & the theif gained entry by jamming a screwdriver behind the doorhandle plate.
If I were going to go through the trouble of installing a later model (flush) door handle, the 88-up trucks would not make the list as a possible donor.

Re: new model door handles on our trucks?
One thing to consider is where they have to be mounted. As you can see in the pic they have to be mounted below the body line. There is not enough depth in the door to mount them any higher.
