I installed them and they work great. It was the last set that he had too. Now I need to find a handle for my lower clamshell door. I am missing the one on the top passenger side of my lower clamshell. Not sure if they are the same or two different pieces as in left and right. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | Place an ad in the Swap Meet section.

I have a 58 that was originally equipped with barn doors. The retractors and cables aren't there to get the part/model numbers from. Can anyone validate the correct part/model number for the TF Suburbans so I can buy a replacement set from Pullman?
Thanks
