can it be done or are the handles just shot? most of my outside handles work just barely and even then only with a hard jerk. (no witty comments lol) inside handles work fine.

Mine act the same way....http://www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/forum2/public/style_emoticons/default/icon_cool.gif

The "1974 Dodge Body Manual" has all the diagrams along with install / removal
instructions, for the door lock mechanisms and handles.

Give a shout if you need pics posted.

I still got problems on my front pass door. I could use some diagrams on adjustments or replacements.

YES. Scatpack, figure this all out so you can fix mine next time you come through. :D

There they are.

Thanks Ghost.

[Ghostbluesman]

No problem, bro...BTW, the instructions were nil, .i.e,:

Installation
(1) Position handle into door opening and engage handle lever to latch link, with clip.
(2) Attach retaining nuts and test handle operation.

Well DUH!

I think that was my problem. I wonder if the linkage is still available?:o

[Beefmalone]

looks like any later model cars had the updated linkage. however, my car is a '75 with some '76 doors and they still suck.
