hello ridgeview. i am going through the same thing with the doors but in reverse.yes they can would be the short answer but you will have to find the piece that sits inside the door that the push botton handle is held in place by.and the screw pattern for the latch is different.that should not be to hard to overcome.the door striker would have to be changed and that depends upon what year your truck is.i have sceen newer style strikers notched with a grinder to accept the older style latch,my friend has it on his 54.best fitting catching doors around these parts but i wouldn't do it .i gave up and went with a set of doors made for push botton handles.
