Kool door handles for GM spline?

    Well, I'm getting closer to figuring out the little details on my disaster pickup, so I figured since none of the window cranks have functional knobs on em and both handles are pitted beyond repair, I'd slap on some new ones.

    What I'm wondering, is what car or truck had nicer looking crank/handle combination than a 64 chevy pickup, but maintained the same GM spline. Everything aftermarket is pretty billet-ish it seems, so I'll have to look in the past for something that suits the truck.

    Thanks!

    62 chevy style seemed to be popular ones to use.

    Early 60 Olds are sweet lookin', but getting harder to find in usable shape. I have also used mid 70s Ford handles in GM rides - required an adapter of sorts (I made mine) but the handles are nice. I particularly like the 1972-79 Ford Gran Torino / Ranchero style.

    You can usually find some nice ones on the on line auction site . I would try there . I always liked the ones in the 40's .
