Door handle Replacement, theft.

2004 F350 Lariat Crew Cab.

My truck has been repeatedly attempted to be broken into through the keyhole. This time they fully punched it through the door, and now i have a hole where the lock should be.

I researched stuff like jimmi-jammers etc, but for the time being.. I am looking just to pick up a set of handles without keyholes. I have remote-less entry and keypad.

Couple questions...
Would rear door handles off a crew cab, fit to the fronts? they look the exact same minus the keyhole.. and this would likely be the easiest to find.

Or...

Is there any good websites i can take a look at that will manufacture keyless front driver and passenger side handles?

They're textured black, and i would like them to match as best as possible.

Any help on this issue would be much appreciated!

Even if u delete the key-hole they can still punch the handle & unlock your door, you would still want jimmi-jammers even w/a key-hole delete.....

I have not looked into deleting my key-hole (sorry) but I do have jimmi-jammers & highly recommend them

Thanks for the reply, i guess i could pick up a pair of the jimmi jammers, but how will i fix the massive hole in the keyhole?

Aren't the Jimmi-jammers just a metal plate?

How am i going to cover my keyholes?

Yes, the rear door handle for a crew cab will fit on the front door.

Thank-You for the clarification.

I am curious about the rod fitting into the connection for when you pull the handle, to release the latch of the door. Are both of these the same on front and back or will i have to slightly modify this to work?

A simple solution to the problem is to remove the lock actuator rod from the key cylinder to the door latch. If they punch the lock or try to slip under the handle, there is no lock actuator rod for their tool to move to unlock the truck.
