I went and bought the explorer latch handle. Thanks for the info. I do have reservations about enlarging the mount holes to accommodate the new latch handle.
I am in the process of removing the panel screws the clean and paint. I also removed the tire carrier and having it power coated. I found that vinegar, especially apple cider vinegar is great for removing most, if not all, rust and dirt. let the parts set for a couple three days. You need to rinse the parts after the soak in the apple cider vinegar as it will turn the a rust color. I coated those I am not painting with petroleum gel. You tube is very informative along with Bronco corral tech forum.
I have replaced all the door and window seals and cleaning all the rubber parts. Wow! Almost worth it to pay a professional detailer to do the job. But, I will appreciate it more by doing it myself. Probably do some cussin also.
I am leaning toward the patina look since a good paint job would run between $5000 to $7000,(estimate). The current paint isn't too bad. The clear coat is peeling on the hood and roof. The Boss(wife) is opposed. Oh Well. I will be awhile for the paint job.
