47-55.1 Anyone converted pull down door handles to push type? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

I have a 53 cab and retrofitted with 1950 Doors for the clean window look. I prefer to use my push button door handles if anyone has done that? I already have the push buttons, but don't want to spend $100 bucks for the internal door latch mechanism if they won't fit. I not afraid to cut and weld but can't be the first guy to want the push button and single window look.

Also been googling here, the hamb, and some other places and it just seems that Google wants you buy crap, anyone else noticed this? Been making my research very frustrating. Many thanks for any replies.

Joe is right, I did it. It's in my build thread, which is in my signature line. Others did it before me.
