I need some help with interior color's
I'm hoping some of you experts might be able to help me put together some colors that look good together . I'm not a huge fan of the brown interior, or the conversion seats in my crew crab even though they are in excellent condition. My headliner is sagging and I think the white vinyl (pillars are white too) looks really out of place, I also have a crack free dash pad that I need to dye.
I was thinking of going with tan door panels from an 81-87 truck and matching the carpet, headliner, and pillars. The seats dont match either the current brown or tan 100% but I think they are closer to tan. Or would it look dumb if I left the brown panels, dash and used tan door bottoms, headliner, pillars, carpet... Any suggestions? I would like to find some factory buckets and rear bench but I want to do this as cheap as I can and I think the seats in there now look ok.

Re: I need some help with interior color's
I don't really see that big of a difference in the two door panels to warrant a change.
If you want a more contemporary look, go with tan carpet, seats panels, etc. Spray your inserts, and bezel with a medium charcoal, or graphite color.

Re: I need some help with interior color's
I don't see the point in the change of door panels. I think a tan & brown 2 tone would be sweet in it. And alot less work & money going into it at this point.

Re: I need some help with interior color's
Since you are leaving the trim outside, and the truck is brown, I would leave the door panels alone. A fresh carpet kit (matching the trim you have), dying the white headliner and pillar trim to match, and changing the headliner and visors to match would make a huge difference. It would look original, but updated. It looks like all of the door panel trim and pull straps are intact (which is hard to find) so I would take advantage of that. A good cleaning of what is not replaced will make a big difference too. This is just my opinion, of course. I notice I really like seeing stuff original the older I get.

I wouldn't change the door panels, unless you just really want the newer panels. Yours look good. Like stated I would just paint/dye a few things to match, and new carpet and headliner. That will make a huge difference in how everything blends.

Re: I need some help with interior color's
I agree with jonboy, keep your present door panels and dye the pillar trim to match. He is also correct that finding 77-80 door panels in that condition and complete is very rare.
