Handle?
- Thread starter Neil Wilson

I had a panel delivery for many years. The handle was I believe unique to the Panel Delivery possibly the sedan delivery. I think one could be made from a rumble seat handle, you'll have to lengthen the square shaft, and an appropriate bezel from a door handle.

Hello Jim,
Thanks for you input. That might be the only route available. An A/AA'er in Arizona says that there is a model T handle which is the same as the one pictured except that the shaft would need to be modified. I am hoping that a model T expert will know which model T handle comes in the "T" style.
BTW - I have been working on the cargo floor for my '30 79-A panel delivery.

Hello Rowdy,
Thank you for the pictures.
The November 15, 1929 body parts list shows that the rear door handle is part A-80994 for both the Panel Delivery and the De Luxe Delivery.
Your pictures of the handle with a key looks like the same handle as I have shown in my first note.
I have compared the escutcheon of the front door handles (closed cab) to the rear door and they are not interchangeable due to the opening size for the shaft cover. The closed cab handle does not have a lock in the handle and the shaft cover is smaller than the panel delivery.
I guess that my information source of a Model T handle which matches the A panel delivery is not correct.
