rear hatch handle
FYI guys - I just saw a want it now posting on ebay for a rear hatch handle, which reminded me of what I did when I was repairing & refurbishing my old hatch.
I just went to HD, or lowes or true-value, whatever, & bought a locking T handle for a garage door. The stem was way too long but it wasn't anything a hacksaw & file couldn't fix. Trimmed the stem down, it fit PERFECTLY! Plus it was only like 6-8 bucks! Just thought I'd tell anybody who didn't know. Later, Buddy

Re: rear hatch handle
I've heard about people doing that. They do make reproductions now. I believe that Brothers carrys them.

Re: rear hatch handle
Yeah that would be nice, just giving the heads up to anybody that's cheap like me.
Later, Buddy

Re: rear hatch handle
VT - my truck is very stock (purchased from original owner by Dana (BAD4X4), then sold to Bob (cheyenne10), then to me. Since the rig hasn't been molested (still has the marks on the firewall and the date on the inner fender) I don't think the keys were altered.
