Who needs interior door handles?

Put me on the list. PayPal you now if you want. Will they use the same hole ?

They fit over the standard splined shaft, and have a retaining screw that goes in the OEM hole in the shaft. No modifications to the truck, if that's what you're asking.

Cool.

My bad. But I thought you were building the outside ones.

My truck is missing the black plastic cover off one interior door handle, and the other one was replaced somewhere along the line with a broken window crank handle. So I decided to 3D model some handles that could be machined from aluminum as inexpensively as possible (still not as cheap as I'd like, because it's complex geometry, but I did my best). I also 3D printed one to test fit, and it's pretty sturdy... I think a 3D printed one would work just fine (as I have it now, the splines fit on pretty tight - tight enough that you really have to push it on there or use the bolt to pull it on).

I just wanted to see if these things being missing or broken is a problem others have too, that is worth solving on a bigger scale (e.g. having a batch of aluminum ones made, posting the 3D printer files, offering 3D printed ones for sale, etc.)?

I plan to do the same thing for the window cranks as well.

I have a quick question. Im trying to take the window crank off and dont want to break it. Any advise?
Thanks

Take the plastic cover off and there is a screw under there. I would be interested in a few of the inside door releases too.

I'm just waiting on screws from McMaster. Then they'll be available.

I already 3D printed some up, though now I'm mostly printing COVID-19 supplies for hospital workers.

Thank you, sir !

I think the original OEM design is poor. Needs to be longer and more ergonomic. My opinion.

There are actually a few kinds of door handles, that I have seen, possibly more.

Those that my 3D printed design was based on...




A big paddle bent-sheet-metal design, that is about 150% the size of the above style. I'm not sure if they are the same on both sides, or mirrored. (Sorry that I don't have a bigger picture)...


This one, which goes on the square-style shafts, I think...
