Eh, I don't blame them. There is no money in it here, so it's not going to help their business much. The DIY community wants everything cheap or free, so it makes sense for them to chase the mining and oil companies with deep pockets (e.g. who want it done NOW, at whatever cost).

Rudeness aside, my guess is that when they started posting initially, they really didn't think through who they were targetting. These are the guys at Acela, so by the time they posted here they had already sunk a ton of time and money into starting a real business to sell $100k+ trucks. Most...

You're resurrecting a 3 year old post. Not much every came of several kinds of parts FMTV Sales said they were going to make available.

Don't the A1's have the door handles that open forward?

You care then, by your own explanation, because the failure rate over time lets you understand if you can replace your door handles with OEM models and "get in your cab at 20 below" for the foreseeable future, or if it's worth looking at a modified/improved door handle lever or system in order...

I don't have any failures - my '96 M1078(A0) has A1 doors with the forward pull handles. I was just saying that if you made a tool to cut the door panel (like I suggested in the other thread), you could potentially make it press that reinforcement lip into the panel at the same time as cutting it.

A separate brace part could probably be made, or if they did decide to make a punch tool it could probably form this lip too (if there is enough material there to do it).
