ArdWrknTrk Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Buyers Products makes a forged aluminum grab handle (#B239914AL) 1/2" diameter x13" long. But now I'm back to looking for the OEM Ford ones. 🙄 LKQ has these chromed steel ones: https://lkqheavytruck.com/part-detail/?store=20&partnum=1948725&partname=CAB-HANDLE&make=FORD&model=F700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's no rush. And I want to pay for them. Jim - Thanks. I've looked the Buyers Products handle up, and it is an option. But they aren't as nice looking as the F600 or 700 ones. Jonathan - Do the ones in the LKQ advert look like the ones you have? They say they are chrome, but might they really be aluminum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stainless fasteners are not too bad to source, but the little plastic wedges that go between the handle and the body are nice to have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in no hurry, so am happy to wait to see what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but some of those are $125/ea. Or ugly! Or both! I'll be thrilled to get a pair from Jonathan if he discovers he has too many. Or, we have a large truck salvage not far away and I might be able to find a pair there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always surplus MRAP grab handles. They're cheap, come with all the hardware. You know they're tough. ~$35 a pair, delivered. https://www.ebay.com/itm/143432051684 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that MRAP handle sure is cheap. But the color doesn't work so I'd have to powder coat them. And, they'll look like jug ears. So, I think I'll hide and watch for the F600/700 handles. But thanks!

They have another longer cab handle (also w/ all the hardware) But I have my eyes open to the flat Ford ones. I had intended to go to the truck yard down the road from my brothers Carolina house, but all those plans changed with the Covid and the riots.
