Anyone got a pic of the interior door handle of a cargo door for a 54 panel?

No idea what they should look like at all :?:

Cheers

I dont think they had any ?

Exterior or interior

see this bus in Octo DD panel

and the parts book shows the Square Key to fit ( Fred Younis has 1)

I doubt i'll find one (or two) of them then...

I assume the escutcheon was like this one then..

Which is the same as barndoor and early non barndoor pickup treasure chest escutcheons..

Anyone got a nice close up pic of the escutcheon used... or know of any for sale... I could always use a church key until I find the proper key.

i am about 99% convinced it is the same part# from single cab to panel cargo door. my parts book shows same number but the cargo section doesnt give specific info with how it is listed.

and isnt that what was used to open panel doors?church key?

anyway,right here on the samba

I have seen these pictured before..

It might be me but I would call this a church key..

whereas this is a door key for panel doors..

that parts picture does look like a strange key.i thought i have seen a photo of reserve key for truck before but cant recall where. and church keys came in several different shapes. im not real sure on the key part. here is what i think is earlier bus church key.

Didn't '54 panels get door handles?
I thought it was only '53 and earlier panels which got none.

My parts manual says no door handle for all years.. or at least there is no indication on a change..

We have the escutcheon in stock, and the seal!
We also have a 'Cargo Door' church key, not sure if Ritchie wants to sell it though.... he keeps waving it under my nose, and pointing out that the fact I have a handle on mine is another in-correct thing on my van, he's up to around 30 in-correct things now, it's like a private joke!

I had a handle on my 53 panel, it just has a short shaft so no handle on the inside, it came nos from kk, the escutchen is the same as any kombi or delux
