1941 BigBoy door handle spring

Inside our door handles is a spring. It is used to "pull " the handle back up after use. Ours are shot. Has anyone rebuilt their handles with new springs and could give some tips?

Do you mean the door lock mechanism which has a spring to return the handle position? If not, don't bother reading any further. I have rebuilt our local Oz versions before which are bit different to yours. Ours are a bit more complicated and delicate due to the diecast splined handle socket rather than a square shaft. You should find compatible springs for your locks on EBay if you search for "hudson door lock spring". Otherwise, with care, its pretty straight forward.

Parts from a car would be easier to get and are the same as the truck

Thanks Guy's. Getting the springs from Lance in North Carolina.
