Anyone know where to get em? Year One has them discontinued, says they can't get them any longer. And what difference is there between these and the 75 and later door handles? I can find them all over the place

Just got a couple I bought on e-bay, taking a chance. More than decent quality, same contours and shape as what was on there, and cheap at $20.64 each. Not perfect, but pretty nice, and more than ready for use.

the 71-74 b bodys 4 door are same ones dodge or plymouth, go look in the junk yards for a 4 doors. The back ones are normally the mint ones, because they aren't used asmuch as the front doors. ;D :beer:

I just fitted the first of the handles I bought for $20 some dollars to the car. Found I have to shim the handle out from the car a little so the top of the handle will clear the car body (yea, too late, scratch in fresh paint. I used 3 washers, maybe 3/16ths of an inch, as shown here.

What they look like, as good as I could get the camera to focus on the shine, is here:
