Door Panels
 
I have been waiting on Black Door Panels from LMC for a 2 months now, were on back order. Finally canceled the order and am looking for a good set of after market ones that aren't too pricy, what company sells a good set? Thanks!

Have you checked classicparts.com ?
I don't have personal experience with their door panels but the other stuff I've bought from them has been good.

My buddy put a set on his truck and he isn't happy with the quality of the LMC ones. I would look for a set of oem and dye them.

I have put on a set from LMC and they are junk ,
they started cracking very unhappy with them
I spoke with customer service and was told since they have been painted they are non returnable

Wow glad I cancelled the order, I have a set of OEM Dark Blue Door panels in the garage. Any tips on how to dye them black, how to prep, etc? Thanks!

Some degreaser and scrub them .
Adhesion promoter and spray your dye .
Just scrub them very good to make sure you have the years of armor all gone

I bought door panels from Classic Industries a few years back...they were the "coverlay" brand. They said they wouldn't be an exact color match, but they look good enough, and are holding up well after a few years.

I'll be making a trip to source a LOT of OEM interior truck parts this weekend so I'll keep an eye out for nice panels and post what I find.

I'll have a list of "look for" parts and among them is a couple tach clusters I know are there, LOTS of suburban interior parts, 16.5" factory derby style hubcaps, etc. stuff like that.

I see you're in Houston also. You might want to stop by a place called Outback Truck Parts in Spring, Tx

They have alot of new and used classic truck parts for chevy trucks.

86Chevy I've heard a lot about there place but have never made it out there, will go soon, thanks.

After you remove the arm rest and cloth insert (on upper trim model) you are left with a plastic panel. No need to die anything. Prep and paint as you would any large piece of plastic.

I painted mine. I don't believe the door panels are OEM, probably aftermarket. It's what was on the truck when I bought it.
