Tailgate handles

[Ranger Dave (B25)]

Have a broken tailgate handle on the new truck. It's plastic, can the metal handles be swapped out in place of the crappy plastic ones? If so what all do I need to do it right?

Conversely, can an F150 locking tailgate handle be swapped in? Has anyone done this?

 

[Mickey Bitsko]

yes, metal handles are available. Don't know about the f-150 will interchange.

No idea if they'll swap, but I have a metal generic Autozone replacement on mine. Been on there for years and still seems to work fine.

yes, I just did mine last month, bought one off amazon and it fits perfect and works great!
