Chrome Door Handles

Does anyone make a good set of chrome door handles that will last?

Re: Chrome Door Handles

Good question. I have repops on my '67 from ECE and they are holding up really well after 2 years, but it's garaged all the time.

Re: Chrome Door Handles

I think the BEST thing to do, is have a non pitted original set, rechromed.

You can get even the pitted ones re-finished. I think it was $200 for that when I checked.

I bought the "corrected new style" which has the back sides riveted on so they are not supposed to fail. So far so good. but Only a few weeks old

Re: Chrome Door Handles

Yeah my truck sits outside so I need something that will last. I guess I will just look into having some originals rechromed.
