I have a 03 Chevy Z71; I want to put escalade door handles on it. Has anyone installed them on their truck?
I also need a hook up on painting them.
Or would it be cheaper to have a shop do it?

Is it ever cheaper to have a shop do anything? :idea:
Talk with Tobtek here on the boards. He has done them.

Just order them from the parts department at your local dealer. They come already painted.

The install is pretty easy...only 3 nuts per handle once ya get the door panel off...caution to the metal edges getting your hand inside the door....I did all 4 in bout an hour...

I am looking to get a set of these, and the fender flares for the 2500HD both in gloss black. Do they sell the flares all done in black? I know they delivered trucks with them done...

I don’t mind driving; I just want someone that knows what they are doing.
It would be nice to find someone close to Moreno Valley.

I have purchase two sets from one gal on here. I hear its a bit more expensive then going to the dealer. BUT everytime I call the Cady dealer for door handles or the new touch screen Nav. I get some ole boy that doesn't have a clue what im looking for. I paid 200.00 plus shipping for the last two sets on the CREW CAB's....four handles per 200.00. AND yes, becareful installing them. They are easy, but I did cut the heck out of one of my arms on some metal edges.....GOOD LUCK :)

I assume the color is easy to match as it is all over the place. You buy the lunch, add it to my tab and let me know when to drop the truck off and how long I have to leave it for.
I'm in, thanks...

Got 'em in stock. Any day is fine........
pm me name address etc I'll open up a RO, get 'em painted then just bring it in when they're ready to slam on. Or just pick a day to bring it in early and I should be able to get 'em painted and hung on the truck by the end of the day. either way

when my dually ever gets here (ordering sucks) I'm doing up the white ones like on yours. The black textured handles were fine on the pewter truck for the last 3 years, but the next one has got to be right :wink:

yeah it can be done....
they don't offer those smooth, somebody has to take the handle and bezel off and sand all the texture off. I can buy them already sanded down, painted or not painted. I give the guy the handle and bezel off yours as an exchange. I believe its about $100....did one the other day
