Its actually duct insulation I purchased in rolls at Lowes. Its basically aluminum backed bubble wrap.

The bottom panel I made, the top is just a standard '72 truck panel.

I would have just said UT orange but that has a somewhat different meaning here in Austin. LOL

Actually it is VOL orange (PMS 151).

All the trim is off of a Cheyenne truck. I had to cut down the bedside and the piece behind the doors to fit.

Oops, I must have gotten my Tennessee schools mixed up. I was thinking that The University of Tennessee was the Vols (Volunteers).

You were right. VOLS = VOLUNTEERS = Big Orange Vols = University of Tennessee

They were already on the blazer when I got it. I just cleaned, primed, and painted them. So far the paint is holding well.
