I had yet another opportunity to make like a pissed off male African Baboon. I broke the 4th inside door handle on the driver’s side door of my truck, after only a few weeks this time. This really came as a surprise as I had “fixed” he door latch so when I pulled the handle the door opened at half of the travel of the door handle. LMC has the solution it turns out the metal door handle for the 1980 – 1986 truck fits perfectly on the 1987-1996 models. Below is the particulars found on page 16 of the 1980-1996 Ford Truck online catalog.


49-7660 DOOR HANDLE-INSIDE-LH CHROME $19.95
49-7661 DOOR HANDLE-INSIDE-RH CHROME $19.95


If you look at pages 15-17 you will find all of the parts necessary to completely overhaul your doors.

 

you can find those at your local parts store for around 10 bucks and you dont have to wait on shipping

 

i swore i seen metal door handles for our 9th gen f150s?

 

The farmer solution is to over engineer it...make one out of 1/4 inch aluminum...easily cutable with a band saw or jig saw and light so no heavy iron handles.

 

there 8 bucks

the 1980-1986? has the metal ones, fits and bolts in just like the crappy plastic ones.

 

Yes indeed the metal 1980 - 1986 is a direct replacement.

Thanks for reminding me of Bronco Graveyard. They are a frequent supplier to the TV show Trucks!.
Wow I can get both the sides for less then one from LMC

I'll have to check and see if they have the window channels and wiper strips so I can completely refurbish my doors.

 

Just checked with my parts store, NAPA, and the metal handles are $23.95 each ! damn. I guess Bronco Graveyard is going to get my order.

 

i bought some chrome metal inside handles off ebay for my 96, for about 25 dollars. luv em no worries any more about breaking them.

 

Which ones do I order on Ebay. There are so many to choose from? I keep breaking the drivers side inside handle on my 1995.
