i had to fix the outside drivers side, because the tumblers seized and you could open my truck with anything that could fit in the lock...never again i say, never again.

had to take part of the window mechanism out and hold the window up with one hand while i tried to remove the door handle.

that was the only time, but it sounds like you've had more experiance. lol

I'll second that. I replaced my exterior door handle on the driver side and never had so many scratches on my arm after that. But I'd do it again.

nice truck, you should start up a thread and post some pics of it.

Thank you. The small picture can be deceiving but it's not in too bad of shape for it's age and mileage. I did just have it repainted last November so it had a little bit of a face lift. I may take you up on that suggestion.

i'm not looking forward to taking mine apart. there is nothing wrong with the ones on there but i bought the crome handles to replace the plastic black.

Changing those stupid things, ruined any chance I had at becoming a hand model for some famous magazine

Ok Im working on the tailgate, explain these rivets to me again... I dont get that whole part, do I have to re drill them ?

ok sorry for all the posts in a row, but heres my problem, the circle thing in the picture is supposed to let the little arms move freely right? If so what do I put on it to break it loose, mine is so stiff that it doesnt move and the new part is $30 and thats not in the budget haha
