shaved door handles on 68 C-10

hello,

Does anybody know where I can get magnetic door handles? The problem is, I heard that to pass inspection here in DE, I need door handles, mine are shaved. So somebody at work was telling me to get the stick on or magnetic fake door handles, but I cant find any. Any help would be great.



Thanks Rich

I'm sorry but I'm flying the BS flag on it not passing for door handles. If you want to be sure call your local dos or stop in to any place that does inspections and ask em.

Our state is goofy you can't just call cause they never answer and if they do answer most of the time they don't know the answer. We can't just roll up to any inspection place, we have three main buildings in the whole state to get inspected and they can pass or fail you for any reason its usually up to the government official inspecting your ride. We don't have local mechanics like other states that will slide you by.

Go through the inspection, if you fail hang borrowed door on your truck.

You should be fine with smooth bumpers the only thing they check is height for bumpers they can't be higher then so many inches

The inspection, is a state run vehicle inspection you have to do each year or every few years . It is completed at a state run building, by state paid people
