Reg Evans Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 This handle actually came off of my 58 Sweptside tailgate but it looks like a trunk handle to me. Any similar handle would work as long as the square shank is at least 2" long and 5/16" square. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 Reg, do not overlook the lift gate handles on most truck toppers..I have also seen these at hardware stores.. Quote
Young Ed Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 Tims right. The handle on my fiberglass bed cover is a garage door handle from the hardware store. Quote
Reg Evans Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Hey......darn good idea boys. I will go check it out tomorrow. Edited July 23, 2010 by Reg Evans Quote
windsor8 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Check out garage door lock handles they are very similar and have a square shank. Quote
Kirby D34 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Check out RV T handles. That is what I use on my 50 Dodge trunk. Kirby D34 Quote
Andydodge Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Reg, have a look at the 55-57 Chev Nomad/Sedan Delivery tailgate handles, they should be very close and are available as repos......also if you know of any 1960's Morris/Austin Mini's as they used a similar handle.......andyd Quote
