Door Handles?
Ok I have a new to me 72 blazer. I have had it about 2 weeks. The questions I have:
Is there someplace that makes metal interior door handles? The last ones appear to ahve been a plastic mold type and broke tonight when it was -7 out. Of course it read made in China under it. I am wanting to replace that as I want a full american truck. Where can I find metal handles? Do I need to look at junk yards? Also the interior door panels are cheap plastic replicas. Can we get ones that are more original feeling? Or am I needing to find a local upholstery place to make something nice? Where can we buy quality parts? Thanks guys. O |

Re: Door Handles?
Chrome metal interior door handles are a dime a dozen. www.lmctruck.com, Classic Parts of America and everyone else who deals in aftermarket parts for Chevrolet sells them.

Re: Door Handles?
Check the parts section.Those parts are fairly easy to locate.The handles are available reproduced or used.
In`72 GM started using molded plastic door panels.In 67-71 they were metal for standard and covered in vinyl with a scroll pattern.You can go with the earlier panels,but the shanks for the winder and handle are longer.You can swap to earlier pieces so they don`t stick out.
