The design is mine but I out sourced the cutting out and the bending due to lack of tools but however I did do the welding and everything else, let me talk to sir michael because I did send him my templates and design I am pretty sure he could build it nicer and cheaper and you will need the 88-98 handle and bezel I did have to stretch the rods in the tailgate! If there were enough interrested people here I am sure he would start building them and the handle and bezel cost me $15.

I like the way that turned out. The flush mount handle is wayyyy nicer looking than mine. Good work!

If these go into production, I'm interested.

that looks excellent. this is def an upgrade from the factory handles as they complement the outside of the truck fine but as has been stated, they dont work very well on the inside...
