Anyone know what OH Crap handles I can use on my truck? Can I just take some off a newer truck or must a certain type be installed?

 

They quit making the OHio crap handles several years ago. You'll have to make a run down to Tennessee and check out the new models. I understand the 'new' outhouses southwest of Nashville is the place to go.


huh

 

What the heck is an "OH Crap handle"? Were you trying to type "outside grab handle"? If so, click this link: WP Warrior Products REPLACEMENT DOOR HANDLES : JC Whitney: Auto Parts & Accessories . Or this one: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&rh=n%3A15710341&page=1 .

 

you've never heard them called oh crap handles? well alot of people havent but yeh those outside grab handles are what hes talkin bout. but hey rmalottwtes im glad me and my family are the only 1s that call it that well we call em oh s*** handles but same thing you probably do to when not on the computer

 

Yep, that's what we call them around here, too. Oh **** handles. They are the handles you grab onto while saying "OH ****".

 

Yup thats what Im talking about guys, I just rather not of called them the other word on here, Who even knows the real names of them? HAHA. Actually I did find me a pair off a car that I plan on making work on my truck.

 

What the hell are you guys talking about?

 

The grab handles that you can grab onto when you don't feel safe...

 

just get some brass door handles at the hardware store.

 

heck im really missing them on my truck so ive been just been holding on to the vent window bar were the regular window and vent window are open but i try not pull to hard to break it

 

Same here...ehh if you break them,they ain't too much..15 bucks at the local J Yard for me..I need to replace both of mine..They're both rusting on the glass frame..and not to mention that my driver's side window doesn't fit right.Apparently the 80-86 trucks have a larger glass than the 87-91.I didn't realize this when I got my glass out of an 88 F250.I mean it fits,it just has alot of play..

 

Yes, the 1987-91 vent window frame is wider, so the main window glass is smaller to compensate.

When you replace your windows and vent frame you can use 1987-1991 vent frames in your doors, with 1987-91 main windows.

Just dont mix and match, 87-91, with 1980-1986 windows, and/or frames.

Hope this helps

 

That's the way my driver's side is....lol..I know the difference now.I like the wider vent frame anyways,so i'm gonna switch them both out for 87-91's...

 

Well Over the weekend I went to U pull and Pay again. Got these off a mercury Sable or something like that. I installed them on both sides, I opted for the spring loaded type over the older type that are without springs.

I took all my molding and headliner out, but before that I put a piece of tape where I wanted them and layed it all out so I could drill holes, then after that I installed the anchors.

I used these to hold the handles in place and so you could put weight on them. Yes they work, I tested them out by putting my weight on them. I had to tack weld the things in place after I installed them because they kept spinning(Cant think of what there called.)


Here it is in the resting position.



In Use



After I got everything done and tucked away I realized I should of moved the handles a little farther away from the trim, as the paint on the handles chips away when it hits the trim, But all in all it looks pretty good and works right for its use...

 

Nice job, looks great.
