I had the same problem on my 2000 cargo van. I took the panel off the door on the inside (about 10 screws), and was able to manually open the door by reaching in and pulling on the latch. From there it is was easy to replace the handle with one made with better metal from the parts store (HELP! brand). I would suggest taking to old one with you to match it up. I bought the wrong one first time around even after the clerk looked it up in the computer.

How do you install the door latch assembly and the rods to the assembly on a 98 Chevy Cheyenne pick up?

The door latch and rods should already be in place BEFORE mounting the window and lock guts into the door. If the latch is secured correctly, and the rods in the proper position, connecting them to the door guts is common sense business.
