    Who makes the nicer outside door handles for a 1970 Skylark?
    I know there are the GM Restoration ones but who else makes nice ones?
    Thanks

    "TrimParts" have a "show" handle, kinda pricey but fits ,feels, and looks perfect imo, they also offer a budget handle, its junk

    I tried some good looking repro handles and they fit horrible. Get originals re-chromed.

    I have actually considered that.
    Any idea on cost?
    I know it changes from location to location but a ball park would help.

    Re- plating originals would cost more than a $100.00 plus gaskets.
    For $60.00 you are ready to go. Orig parts group/ Summit Racing inc. :TU:

    In spring 2012, I had some handles rechromed at a shop in East Hartford, CT. If I remember correctly, it was $40 or $45 each.

    The skylark and chevelle handles have a slight difference to them. Will they work, yes. Will you notice, more than likely not. If you put the handles side by side they look almost identical.
    I would try www.ss396.com and see what they have.

    68/69 handles are same as Chevelle 70-72 are Not .
    All the repo's or nos I've seen are the " thin " versions .
    The trim parts 68/69 are nice however .
    Dave not sure enough nice originals to go around . PS that speed sport chrome that advertises in the news letter quoted $127 EACH .
