As stated above, need a NOS or PRETTY GOOD quality used door handle (outside one!) for the 72 GS. I guess the re-pops aren't up to par. Any help or leads appreciated! Instant payment! Bill in TR
Hi Bill, have a NOS,I just have to make sure it's for the driver side,otherwise I also have a couple in good condition.Bruno.
BTTP...Still need a NOS or equivalent used drivers side door handle. Wallet is smoking from the heat of money waiting to buy... LOL Bill in TR
Hey Bill'n snow covered TR... I may have a decent handle... lets wait to see what Bruno has for ya...:TU: Wheelz, Tampa Bay
I don't have it,the NOS is passenger side,as it happens,I also have a used one,probably better then the NOS one,but again it's for the passenger side.All the others are driver quality.Bruno.
...wellallritythen... I KNOW I have several nice handles. .so in the next dayer so, I will go thru my stuffs and see what I've got for ya Bill'n the great white frozen tundra in TR! :laugh: Wheelz, Bampa Tay
Thanks Wheelz, by the blooming strawbwerry pants by Plant City, or the smoky cigars by Ybor City! Please take a look and let me know... Bill in sub zero TR.... Bill in TR
Bill, the one you need is GM 9717593 LH, the GM 5719143 is for Camaro and do not fit correctly. Many people are selling them as 70-72 skylark and chevelle and they are not..... They also have a different inside grab bar (skinny). Nelson
Thanks Nelson... PM sent! My old man worked for Electromotive Division of G.M. (locomotive/marine engines) and always swore by GM mainly because of their "standardization" concept on things. Starting my own motive career in about 1970 I learned the same lesson; primarily like a GM carb was a GM carb etc. So now, 40 some years later we all learn about the slight nuances between the models. Heres a high end repop with matching numbers and "Not Compatible" http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-1966-67...Parts_Accessories&hash=item5b0c2b74dd&vxp=mtr Im not one that worries about "award winning" with the stuff like the factory wheel lug nuts 1234567-A were superseded by 1234567-B after the midnight shift changeover in March 12 of 1971 at the Flint plant by any stretch of the imagination, but a door handle?? Live and learn I guess. Used to go out to the junkyards and get this stuff that at a year or two old was still "show quality"... Not no mo'. How about the old man with his "new" Buick, around Nov. '41 after a successful hunt in Trout Lake Mich. That made him about 20 years old and a successful bachelor with a nice new car. If anyone can ID the year/model Id appreciate it. That generation for me was always hard to ID. Bill in TR
Not positive these are the right #, but I think this is the set I was looking at. Complete with bent shafts. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/oam-4782?seid=srese1&gclid=CLf_6uf368MCFdcRgQodxGoATQ
I GOT IT!!! Thats James Dean. :beer He unfortunately traded that BUCKuick for a Porsche . . and now you know the resssst of the story. :bla:
Ya know..those VENTIPORTS on that 41 Buick look a lot like double-stacked 65 GS ventiports.. right??? :Brow:
see my post # 3 http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?291765-Outside-door-handles&p=2408171&highlight=#post2408171 they worked for me.
AH-HA... Thanks fellas, I think we are on to something good here... CABRON! Estamos un FIASCO grande!! Looking at the Summit stuff, Laz's one (OPG) http://www.summitracing.com/parts/opg-pz57072/overview/year/1972/make/buick/model/skylark seems like a more descript fitment where as the other from Summit (Trim Parts) seems a bit more generic. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/oam-4782?seid=srese1&gclid=CLf_6uf368MCFdcRgQodxGoATQ Seems like the cheaper one is the way to go, so Wheelz; save a trip to the barn, and thanks anyways! You are hereby cursed to meet me face to face next time the AIR thaws out enough to support aircraft LOL Bill in 30 below TR... BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Went ahead and ordered from Summit.... feedback here will follow. Two nice new handles "should" be a treat, barring installation LOL... We shall see... Bill in TR
WILL DO! Ive got some stuff laying around that I need to liquidate CHEAP! complete 455 long block w/intake and front cover, spare points and HEI dist's. Trunk lid and DSF fender (rotten on bottom) Trunk lid filler panel with springs and window channel "useable", spare front cover with good oil pump housing ... L&R doors (bottoms are gone, with ONE clear window and both risers. Let me know.... this stuff is getting crushed in another few months! Old lady is on me about junk in the yard LOL... Bill in TR
Have a good supply of used 70 - 72 GM (mostly Chevelle). Believe that they might? be the same, as the 70 - 72 Skylark and Chevelle (and Monte Carlo) shared side door glass, door internals, and possibly entire inner door shell as well.
