Door Panels Custom Made

Looking to see if anyone can point me in a direction for custom vinyl or leather door panels or material already stiched for a 68 C10 door panel
Something with a more hot rod feel to it than the oem metal or vinyl covered metal panels

Wink Re: Door Panels Custom Made

I went to the local shop and bought the panel board and covered it myself. I want to change it out to a nicer pattern but for now it serves the purpose well.

I started by cutting the pattern out that would cover the whole door. Then I used self starting sheet metal screws to temerary mount it. Once I had it in place I took and drilled the holes out for the plastic Christmas tree's to hold it in place. I put them through the board and then covered it with the leather.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
