I wasn't planning on shaving the door handles when it comes time for paint, but I have the kit so I feel like I should use it.
Anyway, where is a good spot to mount the outside button? Any ideas?

There were no push buttons to open the doors. I just like the original look of the handles. No more reaching in through the window to get in the truck. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | A high school friend drove a 54 210. He shaved the door handles off and put his solenoid inside the door up close to where the door handle had been where he could just push on the door sheet metal and activate the solenoid.
