COE 38 ford coe door handle question

Discussion in 'Off Topic Hot Rods & Customs' started by atotalnincompoop, Mar 31, 2015.

  1. Is there a exterior door handle from another vehicle that would bolt right up to my 38 coe doors and give me door locks?
    I'd like to eliminate the keyhole on the p***enger side and have regular locking handle type locks if possible☺

    Make sure the shaft length is long enough.

    To make them fit into the COE latches, you need to file off the edges of a short section of the square shaft. If you have a stock handle, you can use it as a template for the location.
