Are these the ones you're talking about? From one of our vendors here.

Awesome Smitty, Thanks a bunch.

Hmm, not from what I've seen to-date. Maybe someone has seen these original. I like the bezel, assuming everything fits.

Bingo. I took a chance on Amazon, because it worked out cheaper. Same description, but no part number. Now I have 100:lol: and they fit perfect. Thanks Smitty.

Your welcome. I ended up taking a small piece of scrap 2x4, drilled an indentation with a 1/2 in. drill to hold the washer and used a file to remove material until the screw fit loosely enough to turn independently of the washer. Won't mess up new upholstery on door panels. Will post pictures when truck is finished.

Looking forward to pics., and great idea with that lumber. Did you get replacement panels, restored or use existing? Luck has it I'll use what I've got. They still look new or close enough, less the "chrome" tape coming off the plastic. Seems to be a simple fix. The interior on these trucks was built to last.

Speak of screws, try finding factory type 8-32s for the rear lenses. Yeah common 8-32s work, but from what I see, none are available with the "thread forming" tips, and the fit isn't as good. No shortage here however, I just lifted off the driver.:chevy:

I used the metal base model door panels and had them upholstered along with the factory buckets. and visors. I have a friend of my brothers doing all the work. Doing a great job, not cheap but will be worth every penny when he is done.

This is a poor picture of the seats and door panels. The headliner is the same color as the vinyl on the seat and sun visors used the material used on the seats. The tan color on the seats is the true color of the vinyl. Also match the seat belts and shoulder harness from Juliano's. The truck is being painted
Rain Forest Green.

That's all going to look amazing. Tastefully done.

I'm getting more and more excited with each passing day. This was made possible by the inheritance my folks left me. And a great wife who said if I wished to fulfill the long time dream of a mighty fine truck this was the time. Drive train had been done and has been freshened up. All the rust repaired and several upgrades. Will post pictures upon completion.

Great thread and perfect timing! I was in the process of trying to figure out how to make the hump type finishing washers work, because I couldn't find any of those flush ones. I'm now the proud owner of 100ea Auveco part #16015...

Thanks again for an awesome thread!!
