As the title says. Show me what you have. I want very nice to nos quality. Not particular on trim level I receive because I'm sure it's a long shot just getting the panels.... Here's my interior. Everything is nice but the door panels!

Just Dashes can rewrap your doors and dash in the mandarin color. Mine worked great.

You can get original vinyls from SMS for the rear panels.

With doing parts for these trucks for a living, I can tell you the Manderin is the rarest interior color. I have only ever seen 2 at the wrecking yards in all of the years I have been doing this. We bought a 1978 Cheyenne shortbed 4x4 new that had this color interior. You will probably have to dye or have them wrapped as mentioned above.

I figured that's what I'd have to do. I don't mind having the rear panels made but I figured if I was gonna find some door panels it'd be from someone on this board! I didn't realize how rare the color was. Rare colors are cool unless you're looking for pieces....

I looked everywhere for green panels for my 75 Scottsdale. The local PPG dealer custom mixed half a pint of dye ($75 bucks I think) for me. I was afraid they would be too shiny but my body guy nailed it. They are holding up just fine.

Those turned out nice. So is the armrest dyed as well? And does all dye go on like paint? I've never used it before

Yes my body guy sprayed 4 coats, The armrests are sprayed as well, They're new old stock.

Mine are sunfaded bad as well. Odd because my dash is the nicest I've ever saw! Not a single crack and zero fade... Are yours really pitted and chalky or just faded?
