Mustang door handle question...

You can get the replacments at the part store. I know we can get them in black. I know if I look them up in the computer the ask chrome or black. Also in the mid 80's ford made a switch from metal to plastic in alot of door handles. I've ordered many of the ford truck metal ones for the older truck because the newer plastic ones break all the time. Also once again look at other cars in the junkyard. Look at the handles on a tempo. They are metal and most of them are black in the newer years.

I appreciate your response ipsd.I want the Mustang ones if they'll fit right because they have some great deals on E-bay.I called Ford about the Thunderbird handles,and they're not cheap at all.I may go to the boneyard sometime and pull a handle from a Stang and compare them.I have a set of Mark VII handles,but they're not black.They do look nice.I like the chrome and brushed look with the ridge across the middle.Classy.Oh well,the definitive answer has to be out there somewhere.

Maxzone.com has pictures and rockauto.com has prices. Rock autos data base doesn't list a part for many years 1985 Mustang lists a part # and price. This is a after market part and it is black plastic.

F01311113 RH $9.04
F01310113 LH $10.08

On the other hand digging a little deeper I found this part # and price.

F01311101 doorhandle 20.79

price probably varies with quality.  :evilgrin: :rolleyes:

For now,if the Mustang handles will work,I'd rather have them,because I can get them a lot cheaper.With the interior swap,paint,exhaust from the muflers back,heavily modified exhaust tips,and a few other things,I need to keep costs down.I can get two black metal handles for a Stang for $23.00 shipped.Or,over $20.00 each at Autozone for a Thunderbird.That's why I want to know if,for sure,the Stang handles will fit.
