53 Exterior door handle install

[donandal]

I recently purchased reproduction exterior door handles for my
truck and I have some info and improvements that might help
others going this route.

I bought mine from Classic Chevy Parts (#18-107 for 52-59).

Overall, I am pretty happy with these handles. The chrome is nice
and handles for both doors are included. It includes just one push
button,the non-keyed one, so you need to buy the push button lock set.
I purchased their lock set kit that that included ignition, glove box
latch and BOTH door handles, all keyed the same. ( #53-471 for 52-53).

These two item #s will complete both doors.

next posts will be some parts I improved....
