Crafted from precision-machined billet aluminum, these handles bring a refined, high-end touch to any build - from freshly restored classics to patina shop trucks.

Whether you're chasing concours-level detail or looking for the next finishing piece on your driver-quality truck, Detroit Speed's billet handle adds both form and function with effortless installation. 

OEM-Inspired Detroit Speed Protected
Each Detroit Speed Billet Tailgate Handle is designed to provide a superior fit and feel compared to OEM and other aftermarket options. The billet aluminum construction ensures consistent geometry, while nylon pivots guarantee smooth, rattle-free performance. Added adjustability allows you to dial in exact placement for a seamless look within the tailgate opening - a refinement that sets your truck apart from the rest. The handle face can also be removed for custom paint or powder coating, offering personalization options that align with your truck's finish - perfect for color-matched or patina builds. 

Bolt-In Convenience
Installation is straightforward and requires no permanent modifications to the tailgate. The Detroit Speed handle assembly includes a complete stainless hardware kit and rubber bump stops, ensuring a clean, secure, and quiet fit. Builders and restorers alike will appreciate the plug-and-play design that delivers a premium touch without fabrication or guesswork.
