I used the rear door handle w/ no lock hole and rewired my charge wire on my 7 way trailer plug so that its hooked to the battery not the key and have a plug that plugs into the truck trailer plug that I can apply battery voltage to to unlock the doors....... No problems

It is apparently for both the right and left doors. A crew cab retrofit wouldn't be cheap.

I think door security falls into the category of oxymoron! Kinda like Microsoft Works!

I just finished installing my viper alarm, still need to get the keyless door locks done, but I am picking up a pezo (sp) alarm, very small, but very loud, it will be inside the truck, I am going to make it so loud inside and outside, that their will be no way to stay inside the truck.

Jimmi Jammers and the billet handles might slow them down.

Precisely....slowing them down is all you're doing...even with the rear door handles on the front. Dark tinted windows, nothing inside the truck that is worth grabbing, alarm system, small, thermonuclear device under the driver's seat.

Billet handles won't do the trick completely, like you said the sheetmetal will flex, so I would put a Viper alarm system, billet door handles and the Jimmi Jammer, that should slow them down if not stop them because of the alarm system.
Do you all think the chrome can be taken off the billet door handles and painted whatever color you want it to be.(in my case black)
Here some websites that sell billet aluminum handles
