Nice presents Chane. They all look great.

I've been thinking about those inside and outside door handles myself. For the outside ones, I don't want to paint them red, and I don't want to leave them the shiney black color, since none of my other black trim is very shiney. Does it look like they would be easily taken apart, that way I could keep the bezel I have now, but put the chrome handle part in it?

Are the bezels for the outside a real shiney/glossy finish?

Thanks

Yes the black part of the outside handle came painted shiny black to match my truck.

You can take out a pin to switch them w/the rough black handles you have now. Look easy enough to me.. GMCJoe knows how to take out the pin and find a replacement. I guess it breaks when you take it out.

Here a the thread w/some intresting info http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forum....handles

Very nice Gifts Chane.

I really like the gauges, where did they come from?

Great gauge cluster! Very sharp -

The truck is looking really sharp. How do you like the 8100 so far?

You need those outside handles on your truck John.

Easy! 30mins top.. Just 3 nuts that are only hand tightened. You can barely get your hand in there! I did use a small socket to tighten them up a little before I put the door panel back on. I'd say the hardest part is getting the handle off and then back on the pulleys without scratching the paint on the door. I wrapped them w/a towel.

The 8100 is awesome! A little high on gas, but its worth it!

I agree with Tom, you do need these handles John. I would highly recommend these to anyone! ..Especially those that have a black truck since these come painted black.

Maybe these come painted other colors. Has anyone tried another vin#? I got the # from Jason and I think he used the vin# off a black Escalade. I don't see why they would paint them black. Do the painted Tahoe handles come painted black or are they just ready to paint plastic?

I just got some paintable door and tailgate handles and they come in a smooth black finish. I was trying to see if I could get them painted red, but they said you're better off getting it done locally so it's a perfect match.
