door handles for a 67
I put doors from a 67 on my truck. The available door handles say for a 67-72
but the bolt holes are at an angle they need to be straight for a 67. Has any one came up with a easy fix to make the 68-72 style handles work on a 67 door after is painted? This would have been no problem if I had known before my doors were painted and on the truck. Thanks Jim |

Re: door handles for a 67
Sorry to give you the bad news but the sixty seven handles aren't repoed.You might try the classifieds to get a nice set of used ones.

Re: door handles for a 67
I bought a set and sent them back to swap them out for a different reason.
They fit the door fine it is just the bolt issue. I made a wedge shape washer and it seamed to work ok. I was thinking of pluging the hole with a cut off bolt and loctite then redrill and tap. Machine work is not a problem I did it for 15 years and have a Bridgeport in my garage. I just wanted to see if any others have come up with a fix. It seams I have to work on/fix everything I have bought to make it work right. I guess it is better than not having it at all. |
