LG Billet handle install

[Padams8888]

Finishing up some details before I put my interior back in. Picked these LG Billet grab handles up last week. 2 for the passenger side and 1 for the drivers side where there was not one before. Used metal rivnuts and the handle as a stencil. Looks like it's going to work out great!

I plan on buying some parts from them soon. I was going to do the grab handles, but I feel they'll look too much out of place against the gray interior.

I'm going to do the black column shifter and black door vents for my '98 so it should look pretty decent.

Be sure and let us know the first time you whack your head into it.

These are the grab handles. Did you shorten up the rods for your door handle? That will help.

@GoToGuy ive hit my head against my billet handle. It hurt.

do they fit all the grab hand positions, the stock passenger one on the A pillar is different the the ones that run along the roof. it seems GM expected the driver to use the steering wheel as the grab handle, really bugs me that its not a symmetrical design for each side

Sorry, I was confused the glab handles fit great. I am only having issues with the inner door handles

Mine is installed on the A pillar with no modifications. Their website says they fit the roof and A pillar.

The forward A pillar on driver's side would interfere with getting behind the wheel. More entry room on passenger side. And yes human nature would instinctivly use the steer wheel to assist in entry.

F-word super duty trucks have had a driver A-pillar grab handle, a LARGE one, since at least some point in the mid 2000-teens. I'm not an F-word lover so I'm not sure, but I do know since the 2017 body style change, and the trucks before that which was a recycled cab for many, many years, but the interior changed a few times over that run.

More than a few times I've been maneuvering in tight parking lots to load up a vehicle and been watching out the back window, steering quickly to get into position, and whacked my fingers on that stupid driver side handle.

It's nice to use it to haul yourself up on the running boards, though.
