i was wondering if the newer style door handles (new chevy/gmc trucks) would look ok on these trucks. i have been thinking about swapping them to my 70. anyone have anypictures of newer style door handles grafted into there 67-72 truck?

I've seen it done a few times, but never seen anything that looked right.
I didn't realize anyone was still doing this/looking into it. I guess I've always thought of it as a mini-truck thing.

If my responce seemed harsh or rude, please forgive me.
I just looked at it and while it did kinda get the point across that I intended...it was a bit on the rude side.
