Outside Door Handles

[FloridaFordGuy]

Hi all. Looking to replace these on my 1970, but there are a lot of places selling them, the item numbers are all over the place, and so are the prices. I've been fortunate not to have to buy a lot of after market stuff for this truck. I know there's Mac's and LMC, but wanted to ask if anyone has a go-to place for something like this? Also, did any other Ford models use the same handle?

Thanks!

I bought my door handles from Dennis Carpenter, they are excellent quality, and would highly recommend them, you have to buy the button separately, but I just plan on using the original buttons. NPD Ford Truck has the Dennis Carpenter parts as well, and they are the same price. NPD is very good about shipping, they get them to you usually within 3 days, Dennis Carpenter takes a little longer, but you have to check the shipping cost between the two companies. I know the 1967-72 Ford trucks have the same handles, but not sure about any other vehicles having the same door handles. I usually shy away from LMC parts if I can.

What ever you end up with, make sure and wax the chrome. New chrome seems to find rust, especially in humid climates. I'm in PNW.

Fat fender garage is making aluminum and they look sweet but very pricey.
