Any cool door handle swaps?

I'm looking to swap out my 73 Stepside exterior door handles too something flush. I was thinking of doing a CUDA Door Handle. Any ideas guys?

Check out smokedats' build thread. He installed some pretty cool handles on his project.

No they are push button as well. I have an extra set of Cuda handles I will try to check the mechanism to see if it has the same action and throw.

Re: Any cool door handle swaps?

Looked at the Cuda handle, when you lift the handle it pushes a lever down on the back and it moves 3/4 to 1 inch. I looked at my truck but couldn't see the mechanism to see which way it works. I took some pictures but not all of them have come through yet here is one of a Challenger down to show the mounting structure of this type of hanlde. I also got some of a few other flat handles I had in the shop.
