Shaved Doors Handles
Hi, considering shaving the door handles on my 52 f1, other than the obvious body work of filling in the hole how hard is this to do. I have never looked into it before or studied one at a car show. If anyone has done this please respond and give me some info pertaining this. Anyone with any inside door pics? Thanks

I would like to have a remote door popper also a secret button just in case of battery failure either in the vehicle or the remote. I am sure I can figure it out but would just like to see it action with pictures if possible. Thanks

It's not of a vintage truck, but I imagine most of the process is the same:
Shaved Door Handels
And here are some parts:
Shaved Door Handles, Shaved Door Handle Kits & Door Poppers
Sorry, don't have anything directly for a '52, if I find something, I'll let you know.

I needed to use the pulley to increase the pull strength of the puller on the stubborn right door.

This is a fun thing to have,…….. for about three days and IMO then it is just a pain in the butt. I have it on one vehicle, wires into the doors, solenoids, and door poppers, worry about battery going dead. Fob in the wrong pocket, hands full etc. (Other then a few Lambo’s not many new cars have them). Electric locks are OK. but not door openers.
End of my bias opinions.

If you do it, spare no expense on components. I think my truck had the Cheapazz brand kit. Bad solenoids, control modules etc will haunt you!

I did shave mine, I put the bear claws in the piller rather than the door, this way no wires into the door, (for poppers anyway) I plan on a manual opption as well in case of dead battery.
