Door handle difference (1 Viewer)

[Pigeaten]

Taking door handles and tailgate handle apart to have plated, all door handles wete the same except 1, the one on the left with nut and bolt. Anybody know what this is about? Found another like it in my stash, so not sure what its for or where it goes as not labeled when removed

I have not seen that before, but I can see how it might be useful. Could that be a PO mod? Is it for sale?

the one on the left with nut and bolt.

All four on my 1976 had the adjuster like your picture.

It appears that the part number for the handles is the same over all years but of course that doesn't mean that the part didn't change. There's no breakdown on the individual parts inside the handles in the diagrams either.

Do you think those were the original ones to your Pig?
My '74 had fixed length handles, and then I came across a set of adjustables.
I thought the adjustables were earlier, but if they came stock on a '76...

No idea, I just assumed all pigs had them....

I was just going through some boxes of parts looking for a spare instrument cluster surround when I ran across a small box with a pair of door handles I don't even remember buying. Out of curiosity I looked and there's one of each style inside. LOL They are in excellent condition and of course you won't notice the difference once installed.
