85 GMC Sierra "Scarlett"

[N2TRUX]

Sunday was pivotal. If Chris and I couldn't make serious progress with the interior parts it would be a major defeat. We got the majority of the upper interior pieces dyed, but our focus was on the door panels. We knew they would require a slow build process so our goal was to get them done.

I had ordered brushed aluminum trim from LMC Trucks to replace the billet inserts. They look very nice, but did require a couple of holes to be drilled. Once installed with the provided PAL nuts the fit was good. They do not come with holes for the pull straps. We opted to eliminate the straps for now.

I tried to clean and polish the door handles and the related handle pockets with no success. The handles were too pitted, and the pockets scratched deeply enough they just couldn't do. I ordered new handles from Auto Metal Direct and bought the pockets locally from Outback Truck parts.

We are done with the panels and waiting for new handles to arrive so we can install them.
