recommendations for interior equipment - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PhilaTruck · 10-18-2007, 07:27 PM

I want to rebuild my interior in my 83 Sierra Classic. I have some of the big stuff done (dash, headliner) but need to do my doors. I've looked at LMC & ChevyDuty for panels, etc. and am interested if anyone has any recs.

I wish there was a listing of site vendors. I'd prefer to use them first. I looked in the "Review" board but didn't find anything.

Thanks-

-Todd

You should have looked at the stickies at the top of the page. Here's a link to forum groups-LinkScroll down toward the bottom and you will find a forum vendor list....

Thanks! I thought I remembered seeing a vendor list but couldn't find it.

You can still get them from GM...

You have to dye them, but they will be correct. The aftermarket "restoration" not "reproduction" or whatever they call them in the catalogs will not make you happy. They don't use the original trim and don't look right to someone who has had the originals in the past.

**Captkaos** · 10-19-2007, 12:14 PM

Palco makes a panel that will accept the original trim. We have them availible drop shipped, but the only come in Black.

And a price ?

PhilaTruck · 10-22-2007, 08:32 PM

Don't worry, Bob. I surely won't clean the place out. I'm probably gonna go $$ on th einterior and get new stuff, but there is some stuff I won't find anywhere but a junkyard. Maybe I'll see you there?

Thanks for the info Chris.

Weird, I didn't get a notification on this. I will get them tomorrow...

crawdad · 10-25-2007, 01:03 AM

Not to steal the thread or anything, but can the carpet or cloth upholstery that is on the door panels be dyed just like the vinyl, or do you have to find something to match and replace it?

**Captkaos** · 10-25-2007, 12:02 PM

I just checked with them, their 77-80 is the only current version that will accept factory hardware. Sorry about that, I don't sell alot of these since they are only availible in black.

They do offer their trim kits for their 81-91 panels.

I don't have pics uploaded for them as I thought, but they these exact door panels, roughly $10 cheaper depending on the panel.
