Door handle question

Hello,

I actually own a 1995 F-150, but the plastic inside door handles keep snapping off (3 this year). I was looking online for replacements, and came across the 80-86 handles which are chrome, and appear to fit later models too.

Are these metal or chrome painted plastic?

Thanks,
Andrew

Thumbs up

Mine on my '83 are metal with a plastic ****. Maybe your truck window regulator needs a bit of grease...

Thanks for the reply, but I am wondering about the lever handle that opens the door. And, yes the door latch probably could use some grease... I'll give that a shot.

I'm not 100% positive but the metal handles on the 1980 to 1986 should fit.
