Also I'm looking for a couple of hens teeth, grin just kidding, but I am looking for two outer door handles with the lock cylinders in them if anyone knows where I can still find them.
Thanks
If memory serves me right, you have the correct doors. The handle lock configuration is: PASSENGER DOOR HAS OUTSIDE LOCK (AND NO INTERIOR LOCK?), DRIVERS SIDE HAS INTERIOR LOCK ONLY. It looks like someone swapped the outside door handles. You can install a locking door handle on your passenger side too.

As far as correct doors, the truck doors are different than the suburban/panel/canopy express doors. There is a matching reveal at the top of the panel doors that does not exist on the truck doors.
