Re: Door Handle Modification
I'm working on doing bear claws in mine right now, but I'm trying to keep the turn down handles with them. If I can't make that work, I'll switch to the pushbutton style and do it with them. If you're capable of doing the fab for the bear claws, switching handles is no big deal. Search for bearclaws on this site and you'll come up with a couple different ways of doing it with pushbuttons...one was Houston54's. Handles are also the same through the TF series, so that opens up your search criteria a bit for used handles.

Re: Door Handle Modification
Martin, you made mention of using a 54-55 1pc windshield...I'm sure you know there's a difference in the cab sheetmetal around the windshield...pre54 has a little crown...post54 is smooth....nothing that couldn't be modded and overcome though...

 Hell, I even thought of a chopped wrap around like a 55 2nd series or something like that, just to get that Motorama look but I have decided against going that far.But honestly I don't think I can do it, then it wouldn't be "my truck" at all, you know what I mean? Brian
