Passenger Door Handle Question
I am working on completing a 1950 Ford F1. I am also re-installing handles that were once shaved in another F1. I have put new latches and new door handles from LMC in both sets of doors on both trucks. The driver side works and looks great on both trucks. The passenger side however droops on both trucks. Is there something that I need to do in order to get this to look the same as the driver side? Or should I look to buy a better aftermarket handle? If it is the latter, who do you recommend? Thanks in advance for your time and help.

The source of most droopage (new word!) often is wear on the mechanism. Take a look at yours to see if this is the case. Solutions range from mending the square slot to twisting the latch (after heating ) to compensate.

Everything is brand new hardware. New latches, strikers, door handles, etc. As mentioned everything on the driver's side looks great. I am curious if there is a better reproduction part out there?
