Outside door handle repair .
Well went to get in the truck this morning and the button was gone . Opened it from the passenger side. Took the door apart found all the pieces and was just going to put the NOS one I have on it but the more I thought about it I really dont want to use them until I actually restore the truck . Pins were gone on the handle to hold the cross piece so I bent up some body shims and riveted them in . Worked out well I did put a dab of JBWELD where the two overlap .

Re: Outside door handle repair .
All fixed dont think a new handle would have looked right on this truck

Re: Outside door handle repair .
I think if I ever get around to using the aftermarket handles I have put away Ill do this mod to them before installing.
