Re: Door Handle Push Button

I'm guessing he's got a 71 K20 and he's in Southern California.

Not all years are the same. The '67 is slightly different in how it mounts from the backside. Basically the screws are angled whereas in other years they're straight.

Probably what's happened with yours is that the plate holding the spring has come off the back of the handle. Long story short- these are made of pot metal and can be a pita to repair. It's much easier to replace the handle and replacing them with new or used will depend on the condition of your truck and budget.
