When I got my bus it was missing the door hardware to operate the side folding door and the previous owner had welded them to make a solid door. I'm going to leave the welded doors that way, but I did score a door handle and push rod to operate it this past weekend. Here's a before and after pic.

Not a very good pic of the push rod though. I may have it rechromed and the handle chromed at a later date to match the Lokar shifter and parking brake handle.
