Default Opinions and info..window crank/door handles?

Please share your experience with different brands of inside door handles and window cranks.
I have NONE at all for my 36 pickup, not even used originals, which would be okay if they were fairly clean.

What brand does Mac's carry? Good, or not so much?
Bob Drake...do they make their own?

at around $10 each for new repros I'm wondering if they are good enough or should I find originals and pay for re-chroming. Especially since I'm going for nice driver quality, this ain't no Pebble Beach truck.

Scott, I had all my handles except for one. I searched on the auction site and found a good original and I paid 10.00 plus shipping. Do you want original or are you ok with having new ones? I think the aftermarket handles are good but not as crisp as originals.

I'm okay with either new repro if they aren't junk, or nice originals

Scott, these are the handles that you want. Please note that some supply houses will try to sell you a different set. You want the one with the ball on the end.
