APPERFiT all-metal exterior door handle for 1995–2000 Chevy/GMC OBS trucks — left driver-side, textured black OEM-fit

APPERFiT's all-metal exterior door handle replaces the left front driver-side handle on 1995–2000 Chevy and GMC OBS trucks and provides a durable, OEM-fit restoration in textured black.

How does the APPERFiT metal handle compare to the original part?

The handle is manufactured from metal with a textured black finish to mirror the original styling and strength of OEM units. It’s intended as a one-for-one replacement for the worn plastic or damaged factory handle, improving lifespan and preserving factory appearance.

• All-metal construction resists breakage common in older plastic handles.
• Textured black coating matches factory trim and hides dirt and scratches.
• Precision dimensions ensure alignment with existing linkage and fasteners.
• Ships as a single driver-side handle ready for installation.

What should I expect during installation and setup?

Installation follows the same steps as the factory unit: remove the interior door panel access, unbolt the old handle, transfer linkage as needed, and secure the replacement. Typical repairs require basic hand tools and modest mechanical skill; professional installation is optional if you prefer.

• Direct bolt-in replacement using factory holes—no trimming required.
• May require reuse of existing linkage clips or minor transfer of hardware.
• Installation time typically ranges from 20–45 minutes depending on experience.
• Documented OEM fit reduces troubleshooting during reassembly.

Does the part come with a warranty and what’s included?

The purchase includes one new driver-side exterior door handle and a one-year warranty from APPERFiT. The warranty covers manufacturing defects; reach out to APPERFiT support if you encounter fitment or quality questions.

• Package contents: 1 x left/front driver exterior door handle (textured black).
• Covered by a 1-year limited warranty for workmanship and materials.
• Responsive customer support for fitment guidance or replacement needs.
