I saw a picture of an obs truck a few weeks ago and they had the billet o shiat handles (not sure what there really called). Where can I pick up a couple of them?

The interior handles on the a-pillar and/or above the door. The ones you can grab onto to help get you into the truck.

There's a thread that shows how you can treat the handles on OBS trucks so they look chrome/billet. Is that what you're talking about?

Well they do adjust side to side but they don't have that up and down knob in the middle.

Hey thecodeman I also looked into the alum vents and when I saw the price...ouch. I took my vents out and took them apart completly and painted each piece and reassembled them. They look awesome. I should be putting my dash back in and getting the pieces all assembled in a couple of days. I just ordered some EL Glo gauges and now I have to pick up a 96 cluster to drop them in. I should also be getting my blue/black racing buckets in next week and then it's time to fab the custom console. The more I get done the more there seems to do......

Ahhh....I didn't understand what he was trying to say. I thought maybe it was text-massaging speak...

I know what you mean, I've owned the truck for about a year and the interior was removed about a week after I bought it. I've put it back together a little at a time. I've finally decided to just stop being cheap and buy the stuff I need and get the major stuff done to the interior. I intend to billet the dash,doors,sill,shifter and maybe some other little things. That's just small stuff and can be done in a couple hours. Then there's the Escalade kit, flares, 6 inch lift, wheels and tires, and numerous other body mods to do. Oh and can't forget the engine..... there I go again adding more stuff to the to do list.

:worship: I have 4 that I picked up locally (Hunters Custom Auto). Both Empire and Billet Specialties make them that I know of, I just prefer the Billet Speciaties design over the Empire.
