Frank,
I still have my original handles and even though the car was low mileage they still looked like 40 year plus factory chrome... I looked at my spread sheet and saw they I picked those up in July '04 for about $120/pair so I assume Carlisle and not sure if NOS/repro/new issue. I thought that the B-Body handles were same as Dodge truck???- can't remember... I did see that the reinforcement plates were just $30 (in '08) and made of stainless steel - again I think they are a nice upgrade.
Good luck with the painter.

Jim
