LT Handles Finally Installed on Harley Hauler

Finally got LT handles installed on my truck. Looks much better IMHO.
Can't believe Ford put those Fugly, grey plastic handles on these
beautiful trucks. All to save money I guess.

Very nice! Do all of the LT handles have chrome handles? I'd like to replace mine with the LT's, but want the handle and bucket to both be body color. Can they be had that way?

Looks great. I painted my LT handles on friday and installed them today. Had to paint them since LTs dont come in Aspen Great. What a world of difference in looks and its going to be easy to wax... byebye ugly black plastic crap.


All LT handles are chrome. If you want all one color (like i did) you are probably better off having yours painted... or buy a set from one of use, and have them painted... this way you have almost no down time. However... now that i have the chrome handles.. i am in love!

Thanks Thump. My exhaust is a custom set up. I have true duals with 2 flowmaster mufflers, one after each cat. I had a custom shop bend the
pipes to make the side exit and weld the chrome tips on the end. It really sounds good. No cab drone at cruising speeds, but when you press the gas pedal you can definitely hear the flowmasters.
