These are awesome! Just wish they had the door locks also..

[Chevy Fleetside]

They look nice but a bit pricey for me. No door locks either. Unless we can use stock door locks.

[Clyde65]

Those look cool for a custom for sure! I dont think the stock locking button would look very good with the billet though.

[Rust-O-Matic]

$300 for door handles that don't even have a smooth finish or locks? I've have purchased entire vehicles for that kind of money.

I wish someone would make a decent reproduction of the original that uses the original locks. All that is available is either ill-fitting Taiwanese garbage, or way expensive overkill.

[GSIMFAB]

The stock door lock would not look good on these door handles. Yes you can buy cheaper door handles that look just like everyone else's door handles, but these are more for the guy who would like a totally custom look. The cool thing is that they can easily be disassembled and polished or painted the options are endless. They are just not everyone's cup of tea.

They have gone over really well with the 67-72 truck guys.

Sorry if I hurt your butt, Ron. I think if you reread my post you will see I'm not interested in cheap Chinese repops either.

We are all entitled to our opinion, whether you agree or not. Thanks for your analysis of my financial situation just the same.

your quite right, you are entitled to yor own opinion, but is this internet talk or would you say that to the persons face.
I get the same reaction to my work frequently and usually i just mark it up to ignorance and not mine. I know where my market is and it is more than likely within 1/4 of 1%. the more tactful will say I can't afford that , it is not within my budget, it is not what I am looking for and that is the way the world is made up. every so often though some one reaches in their pocket and makes my day. then you get these ones, "what a rip off", "not worth it", "too much money" and you know it is a different class of person talking.
there a lot of people that make specialized stuff, limited in production or 1 of a kind. it cost more to make.
I would imagine that he has a limited market for those handles.

That's a good outlook to have, GSIM. No malice intended. It's nice to see someone making a higher quality handle than the other crap that's currently available. These just aren't my thing.

[padresag]

thank you

Wow, Ron. If I didn't know better, I might think you just called me ignorant, poor, uncouth, and low class all in the same paragraph. My opinion about some door handles does not give you the right to make spiteful personal comments toward me or anyone else on this forum. It seems to me that you would do well to take some of your own advice about tactfulness.

And though I should not indulge you by addressing your snarky comments, I never implied I could not afford anything at all. I simply meant a pair of late 90's Boyd Coddington looking billet handles are not worth $300 to me, and provided an example for cost comparison. If that's your thing, then by all means go get you a pallet load of 'em.

One of the main draws for me to this forum, besides the mountains of available info, is how friendly and cool everybody has been. I've never had a cross word with anyone on here until today. Just to clarify, I do not "internet talk" as you have implied, and have never posted anything on here that was offensive or that I would not say directly to anyone's face. If you ever make it down to Missouri I'd be glad to demonstrate in person.

Pissing match over. Good day, gentlemen.

do you have pics of some on a truck? curious to see how they look. these should also work for 55-59 too since as far as I remember the handles are the same 55-66.

[TJ's Chevy]

Will be looking into a set within this next year for sure. They are a little out of my price range, but I dig the look. WILL a stock type door lock Work with this setup? I'd prefer to have one lock at least. And please keep'em made in the USA! We need more people like you!

[thunder71]

Very nice ...looks like they would polish up easy.

you say these will not 'look' good with the stock lock button! so 'can' you use a stock lock button? I really like the look of them an would buy a set if I can use a door lock button on them!!
I bought the altman easy latch and cut my doors and then found out you can't lock you doors with them from the inside! would like to be able to lock the doors, thanks!

This forum doesn't have a 'Like It' button, or I'd like your post. :-)

[padresag]

new cars don't use keys and more. you just have to push that little button. perhaps the fellows that can afford those handles can spring for a little more and have electronic locks. don't imagine that it would be to difficult to install
