Ford F834 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Just for ideas: https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-1996-Up-Ford-Medium-Heavy-Truck-O-S-Assist-BD-Handle-Freightliner/192075282385?epid=2131682054&hash=item2cb89437d1:g:PpgAAOSwnHZYdUWQ&vxp=mtr Wow! Expensive! And that’s just for one! I now have 4 waiting to go on my crew cab but I hope to find another pair for the ‘81. Not paying that much though! Interesting that the came in black. That is what I will need for the XLS-esque look, but gloss black paint will have to do... Just to add to the info, those have a wedge shaped plastic shim between the fastening end and the cab. The fasteners are high quality stainless torx head screws that thread into captive nuts mounted inside the cab wall. The rounds on the aluminum bar are very comfortable in the hands. They are not much to look at but very functional and well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to comment that the sky's the limit on colors as we can blast and powder coat the handles when you are here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to comment that the sky's the limit on colors as we can blast and powder coat the handles when you are here. Thank you! That would be fantastic, especially since this will be a high wear area. I know we talked about doing that with windshield trim but were unsure it could take the heat. These should definitely take it without warping. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
