new inexpensive door handles
« on: October 03, 2006, 04:43:01 PM »

Thought i would try them out! and they work perfect. All you have to do is unbolt the inside rod lever and swap it with the other door handle.

check them out if you want!!!!!      78-93 dodge truck door handles

Year One, paddocks and other restoration places have them (mopar handles), but they are fairly expensive, About $70-$80 each if i remember correctly.

my car is a budget resto that i did not want to sink $160 plus shipping into door handles...

The original dart/duster/demon handle part #'s superscede to the later dodge truck handles. They should just bolt right up as peroriginal. Not sure what was different on yours that you had change parts. I bought a new set when i worked for a dealer and the bolted right on to my 73 dart. Anyhow, how is the quality of these aftermarket ones? I agree that the price is FAR better than even dealer cost price, but some of the aftermarket handles just feel cheap compared to originals. I need a new set for my ram, soim kinda wondering.....

Does anyone know if those handles will work on a 68 roadrunner?

Those handles bythe factory are a different part number---so no.
