Door Handles

Will exterior door handles from a 69-on bus fit a 68 crew cab? I have one broken handle on the passenger side and new replacements are not available. At least, not that I can locate.

If you want new handles; try West Coast Metric, they had new handles for my 62.

Doood,
Almost all catalog's(including WCM) list new exterior door handles for '62 to '67, and '69 to '79 models. But none of them carry new exterior door handles for a '68 Bus. That door handle was only used on the '68 model, and then changed again in '69. Anyway, I found some used ones at BustedBus.com and ordered three of them(along with some other items that I couldn't find anywhere else.
