Taking off door handles

[BOSS]

So can the metal rods be changed over? I haven't got my truck back yet so I can't check it out yet...

Yes they can.

ohh so you can basically have no key holes at all on your tahoe if you switch them around?

There a good place to buy these handles or would a junk yard be the best bet?

anytime. catalog varies based on body style/year

the handles are identical, the difference I think is the length of the metal rods that connect the door handle hinge with the lock itself.

I just tried this, i have one from a rear and took my front out, but the actual handle on the backside is different. Unless its just b/c of the keyhole lock. But i couldnt get it in. The rod was to high and was hitting the outside of the door and wouldnt go in.
Heres a pic of the rear door handle, the metal piece is the piece that im talking about that is different. The front metal piece isnt that far over. And for some reason i cant just swtich them, cant get the pin out.

----- disregard, figured it out, sat back had a drink, then realized just pull the pin out of the rear door handle and then put the front mechanisms on that handle...no now key hole.. duh-----

Alright tried this, no go. I have a rear door handle from a 05 burban. Switched over mech. but handle itself wont go in the holes to bolt it to door. The part where you put the pin through, is holding it from going in the holes for bolts. Anyone done this before.... ?????
