I am keeping my door handles in order to save having to weld up the holes in the doors plus I like the stock look.

My truck came with shaved handles and solenoids (that no longer worked). It was an old school job with kick buttons on the running board verticle. I had to put in new 45# solenoids, add a remote module and remove the kick buttons.
I like the setup so much that I'm making the tailgate work the same way.
Whoever shaved the handles did a pretty poor job of filling the handle holes, so I will be redoing them, along with other body work.
