How to remove the inside door handles from my 63 F100?

I removed the screws completely and still no luck! I don't want to pry on them as I am sure there is a clip or something I cant quite see.
Anyone?
Also the actuators that they mount to are all stripped out, anyone have any for sale?

If screws are out I would think you should get them off . May be corroded some on splines.

My 62 and the 66 both have just the screw and they pull off. If the spline is striped out on yours it could be what is holding them. I am parting out my 66 Custom Cab if the window registers will work for you let me know. I think they are the same but numberdummy would know for sure.

1961/66 window regulators: Same-o same-o.

The window/door handles are the same 1957/67.
