Door panels - anything else fit?
 
I am just curious if anybody has found a full length door panel from some other brand/style of truck that will work on our trucks with minimal modification?

I looked at Fesler and TMI and those are both out of my budget for the foreseeable future.

Sounds like you're going to build a Johnny Cash truck.

Need to know what year you are working with. 67 to 71 are fairly easy to use a sheet of light metal and upholster it. 1972 models use a entirely different inner door panel that has nothing to easily substitute for that part.

I was looking for a full panel. The truck is a 68. Something with no hole for the window handle as I am installing power windows.

Most of the newer panels have pockets and speakers and there would not be enough room between the seat and panel for that type of set-up.

This is the way I would go. Make what you want.
