Wanted A Pillar grab handle, push bar, nerf bars

[SVO1]

Looking for a push bar/bull bar style, and nerf bars for my 94 Suburban. Also looking for the A Pillar grab handle out of the 95-up burbs and trucks to add to mine to help my Mom get in and out of it. (prefer grey)

Let me know what you have!

Just FYI the A-pillar grab handle on 95-up has a captive nut bracket welded to the cab's A-pillar; you'll need that as well or there's nothing to mount the handle to. And, the A-pillar plastic is different as well, and the 95-up A-pillar plastic will not fit with your existing dash.

Yep! I have seen the big bracket that they use, and I am prepared to fabricate/weld in my own, and I was figuring I would have to modify the a-pillar trim.
Thanks!

Another piece I may consider is the B-pillar grab handle off of a tahoe/Burb, I could make this work as well.

Easier to hit the boneyard - make a template with the upper and lower trim mounting holes of the 95-up A-pillar, then use a battery sawzall to chop the pillar out so you have the bracket in hand, take it home, drill the 5 plug welds out on your drill press. Then you have the factory bracket ready to weld on and a template for locating it on your A-pillar.

The handle is the same on the 95-ups regardless of body style so using one from a Tahoe/Burb is no different. The plastic will not fit with your dash, and your old plastic will not fit over the bracket. There's going to be some hacking involved one way or the other and I doubt it's gonna look pretty.

BTW here's a shot of the bracket welded in place on my '94, before installing the plastic and handle. (I have a '96 full interior swap in mine.)

Thanks.
The other handle I mentioned from the burb/Tahoe is the "B" pillar one, the little hoop for the rear seat passenger. I was also thinking I could make one of those work!
And thanks for the pic! That helps me out a lot!

Richard,

Do you have picture of that captive nut bracket ?

My 99 Tahoe does not have A-pillar brab handle, I bought the handle frm dealer, but I could not install it even there are screw holes (without thread) on the a-pillar.

Does some one have GM part # for that captive nut bracket ?
