Who sells the rear hatch lock/ handle for a ’72 blazer? I can’t seem to find one. LMC and Chevy Duty did not have them.

I think that may be a part that's not re-made.

This is what I bought. I will have to do some mods to make it work.

Tractor Supply sells a T handle for things like a garage door that is just about a perfect fit for under $10.

Blazer parts are the ones that most unlikely to get repop, your only way is to find a very nice used one, but they're as common as hen's teeth.

I was lucky enough to have the OE handle w/ key

I got mine at Home Depot about 8.00
and cut off the excess with a hack saw.
Works Great.

Has anyone used this? Are the lock/ handles the same on single and double wall tops?

chevy_fatman · 03-26-2006, 10:19 PM

The hatches are just the same in single and double walls......

That looks like the same thing I bought but a lot more money.

pound41 · 03-27-2006, 08:21 AM

The handles sold by vendors are the same as home depot etc. the are universal garage door handles no matter what they tell you. there's OEM and garage door thats it. I have been on a quest for a keyed oem for over a year now. Saw a NOS on ebay went for $ 220. I didn't want one that bad.

nathan_454 · 03-27-2006, 10:27 AM

6.92 at home depot... looks damn close to me

heres the 40 dollar brothers one for comparo... identical.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-01-2006, 08:26 AM

Looks like home depot wins..... That is very close to what mine looks like..

drdata · 12-14-2009, 06:11 PM

My used hatch did not come with a key. ignition key does not even insert, let alone work. I was close to taking lock assembly to a smith to have a key made. This seems pricey, and I know on my 73 that w/o the key I had to drill the old cylinder out. Hard to believe they could stick clay or something in there and reverse Angie a key, but I suppose that is what makes a lock smith so trained.

Anyway, I now lean to wards a trip to home depot for a t-handle.

I love this site.

theboxer · 12-14-2009, 11:16 PM

I just replaced mine a couple of weeks ago. I got it from Brothers Trucks. Works great!

Yep, but then I got a new to me 72, and all heck gets drug up.

Better than a new thread.

BTW, very happy w/the home depot T-handle. Had to saw off about 1", and drill the cotter pin hole, but best 30 bones I ever saved.

Cheers
