Oh ***** Handles?
Do you guys know where I could find, or the difficulty rating of getting and installing some handls on the truck to get up into it. I am thinking just the passenger side, I use the steering whele just find, but most people getting into my single cab truck have a hell of time getting into it, and they yank on my new dash and crap.

I don't know how big of a boy you are, but using the steering wheel is a little hard on the bearings, and the column in general. I drive a big truck (Mack) and have seen several over the years that the columns have been destroyed by doing this. I think about it everytime I do it when I get in my '83.

That is a good point, I aint to big, 6 foot 170 pounds, but I guess what I mean is, I have step sides as some of you have scene in the pictures, and I majority use those to hold my weight, and use some of the steering wheel just to guide my body in, otherwise yeah I could see that being hard on it.

idk what kind of a truck you have, prolly a 350 from your name, but i know my 150 has handles on the front a pillar, it came that way, so maybe a different model has those for your truck, if you could take the moulding and handle off a truck with the right stuff from a junk yard and put it onto your truck that may work, thats what id try to do anyway
