Default Interior door handle?

Is there anyone out there that makes a stronger interior door handle?
I haven’t had my truck a year and I’m putting on my third handle.
I’ve greased the door lack so everything works freely I don’t jerk on the handle, this is the third truck I’ve owned in this generation and I don’t remember going through handles this fast.

I found a metal one on ebay once and got outbid. Just replaced one Friday with cheapo plastic!

Thats actually a handle from an 80-86. How are u breaking the handles? I have yet to break one. Is it hard to open? The 92-96s uses a cable that can bind internally and cause a hard pull OR the metal around the hinge the handle bolts to can tear and cuase fun stuff to happen.

I had the cable snap quite a few times and really pulled on the handle hard, never broke one...i sometimes grab the handle to slam the door and never broke one.

Like I said everything is greased up and working smooth I was really supprised when this last one broke.
Are you sure the ones on the e-bay link are for an 80's model?
