The pictures really suck but this was a huge improvement. Couldn't believe the difference it made.

more info please. i have the metal ones. did you just cover those or get some 1/8 board and cover it?

Mudder · 05-13-2005, 09:39 PM

The old ones where done about 8 years ago by just spraying glue on then laying the leathr down on the panel. They looked really good at first. You could actually see the grooves, but it has come loose in time and looked all flat. The new ones came from Chevy Duty and are made out fo fiberglass. They have a padding under the leather to make em soft. The pic don't do them justice. They really look nice.

cost and do they come in light grey???

Mudder · 05-13-2005, 09:58 PM

The closest they come to light gray is off white. If you get the right kind fo paint they can be painted. They are basically like my headliner and I painted it. They come as just a skin for your door panel (75 bucks) or already made up (160 bucks).

a pair or a side

That is a big improvement, what did you use at the bottom instead of the 4 screws?

I just got done changing the door panels on my 70 GMC, I used the 67/68 style but they are made of a hard plastic, they fit nice but use a large screw and gromet on the bottom holes.

For a pair.....

The old ones used screws. The new ones are just help there by the chrome at the top and the carpet at the bottom. The armrests helps also.

What's Carpet underneath the panels? Is it homemade? Where did you find those pieces? Looks great Mudder67

Mudder · 05-14-2005, 01:49 PM

The carpet came from Chevy Duty. They make em for the kick panels also. The vendors here can probably get them for ya.
