WTB hatch handle for blazer or jimmy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am in need of a good hatch handle assembly. I just broke the chrome handle on mine. One with a key would be GREAT, but not necessary.

Has anyone tried to use a different type of handle?

Thanks,

LT

You can buy them aftermarket now. I believe it is Brother's that carries them. Several people have used the t-handles you can buy at your local hardware store. I've only read about both of these options on the board. If you do find one used, you might be able to get a locksmith to re-key the lock. My '72 uses the same key for the ignition, doors and the rear hatch and it is original.

If you are going to to that go to the hardware store and get a garage door handle for $14. Thats all brothers and others are selling you for $30. They are not like the original

Brothers told me they were $69.99 + shipping, and that they were out of stock. I'll do the garage door thing. Thanks guys
