1936-1946 Door Handle Mystery
Two different designs of inside door handles are seen when looking at 1939-46 Chevrolet and GMC trucks. This photo shows the attaching portion is the same. However, the opposite ends are much different.

Question: What are the years each design was used? We ask for your opinions. Our ideas are as follows:
1939-41 – Small ends on handles
1942-46 – Large ends on handles. This allows the palm of a hand to better push the handle and open the door. (A later aftermarket company also sold the 1942-46 style. Only GM produced the 1939-41 design.)
