that is funny---I was thinking about doing the same thing with my handles out of that "extra" front seat bottom Castano I now have laying around. Not sure if an upholstery shop could do it or not though. If I do anything, I will keep you posted. GREAT idea on the EXPY handles though. Wish that could have worked out....

 

rhyno1 - one of the members here, KING RANCH, had come up the idea and actually did this mod several months ago..... here's the link with pics.... https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...hlight=handles

They came out quite well..... hope this helps...

 

Yeah... bummer it couldn't work out. The rear handles are, I believe, the same and thus, they would be plug and play on the 05 but, the fronts might be a little different story based on the way that they are integrated into the A-pillar trim.

 

Mike---those pics are sweet. My compliments to KING RANCH on that!! VERY nice.

 

Haven't been able to spend the time researching this yet....Is there a difference between the F150 and Expy A-pillar grab handles?

 

On the 2005.... YES.

 

MM...

Check out this thread pertaining to the 05 Expy vs. the 05 F-150...

I have a set of handles that I snared off of ebay for very little cash on the way. I believe the rears are the same but, I may have to find out the hard way.... I'll have to come up with something custom if I want to do the fronts as they are integrated into the A-pillar trim.
