I would like to hear if anyone has used any of the billet doorhandles myself

I just bought a set of the Ring Brothers units and while expensive, they are super nice and well constructed. I looked at the GSI units and the ones from billet rides (i have their mirrors) but the ring brothers are much nicer.

I think you were looking at the suburban door handle prices!!! The truck prices are less at GSI unless I missed a something. Have a great day.

71Super the Ring Brothers handles look amazing.

I've had GSI ones on my truck for a long time. I'm pretty certain I had 1 of the first 10 pair made. I really like them and they have held up awesome. The only issue I had was they designed them after a 67 handle in the beginning and the bolt angles are different on the rear hole. They have since fixed that. I'm pretty sure they were only around $350 back then too. I could be wrong. They've really went up if they're at $500 now.

I'm curious do the ring brothers handles fit any closer to the body? The Delmo ones say that they are 3/4" closer to the door. I can't find any information on how the Ring brothers fit and they have not responded to my inquiries...

Any pictures of these door handles?
Who I'd GSI also?
Thanxs

I would go with the handles that have the look you like regardless of who sells/makes them.
I have Delmo handles and am happy with them. Well made, fit great, look great to me. Reasonably priced (for an expensive hobby). Photo's attached.
I got them for several reasons:
1. Cheap reproductions are just that.
2. Good quality re-chroming shops are few and as expensive or more so than the billets. Probably much more now and you would have to modify your handles to have it done - not a big deal, but another variable.
3. I liked the style of the Delmo handles I got.
4. I liked the idea of being 3/4" of an inch tighter to the body vs Ring Bros and I doubt they would make a false claim. i haven't measured against my originals. Doesn't make a difference anyway.

FWIW
1. I think Delmo has GSI make them for him. When I ordered them a year or two ago, they came from GSI and one or both parties said that was the case - at that time.
As far as the Ring Bros. I am sure they are nice and would be surprised if they are mechanically much if at all different than GSI, Delmo. I would not pay the Ring Bros. premium unless I absolutely loved their style over the others and found a $100 bill on the ground.
2. Billet aluminum is NOT chrome. Chrome is harder and slightly shinier. Good chrome is MUCH harder and much shinier. My handles have not even seen real use yet and they do have micro scratching in them. I'm OK with it - probably not noticed by anyone other than us that are spending hours and $$$ on their trucks.
3. I have Altman Easy latches installed so my experience may differ.

I'm guessing yours are the "silver anodized" version of the Delmo handles. There's a polished version available that would look more like chrome originals, but still not the same. Here's the polished version.

Your images definitely look brighter/shinier. I went and checked my receipt from 4/20/20 and my handles are "polished". I also looked at them again and they do look shinier than my photos suggest.
One thing I will say, polishing is "variable". Maybe they are doing a better job now or it was a professional photo. In any event I am happy and I suspect you or others would be as well. They likely will need a little polishing from time to time...

Interesting, i was just going by the photos on Delmo's site. Here's what the "silver anodized" ones look like from his site. You're right, maybe they've changed their way of polishing them since 2020. Either way, they look nice.

So far I like ring brothers handles....

Just Google gsi 67-72 door handles and you'll come up with their website.

Here are the "raw" version of their 67-72 handles.
