IN WTB-Door/Window Handle Escutcheon in Parchment - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**tim71** · 01-27-2018, 01:56 PM

I'm in need of 2 of the plastic trim rings that sit between the door/window handle and the door panel. They need to be parchment or off-white. LMC calls them Escutcheons, but their product is thicker in size and doesn't fit correctly. I was able to save 2 of my originals, but need 2 more. They're for a 1971 K1500. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have some that I purchased from Brothers a couple years ago, new in the bag. I can check the thickness when I get home tonight. Do you have a pic or the measurement that works?

The original and the LMC part are basically the same in overall height. However, as you can see from the picture, the original pushed into the door panel farther and the lip that remained between the handle and door panel is much thinner than the LMC part. I am curious if the Brothers part is the same as the LMC part. My guess is that it is, because they probably came from the same foreign supplier. Thanks for your help.

Mine look like the LMC part. I'll double check when I get home.

The parts I have look thick like LMC but they are soft and squeezable. Looks like they would push in. I don't have a door panel to try them on.

My LMC escutcheons are softer than the originals but I couldn't get them to fit to my satisfaction. Doesn't seem to be any members with any used originals laying around, so I think I'll try to modify the LMC pieces. They were inexpensive so it's worth a try. Again, thanks for your interest and help.
