I'm curious DA71Grande, I don't see any screw heads along the bottom of your door panels, how did you attach them?

He makes them with the Chevy logo, but I wanted them without.
He does a bunch of different types of panels, so just send him a message and tell him what you are looking for. He probably can send you pics of what he offers.

One thing...getting them in the upper door panel trim was a chore. I ended up sandwiching the upper edge of the panel in between two pieces of wood with clamps overnight to compress the foam enough to slide the panel into the trim.

I used the same guy quick turn a round. I think with shipping it was $92.00 and change. Have had them awhile just not that far yet. Real happy with his work. Thanks for the info on the upper door trim Zeroman they look good.

Thanks , No I'm just working on my own trucks for now . But just a tip for the guys wanting custom door panels use the Deluxe upper door trim to avoid panel fit issues ,They allow a thicker panel to be used and the chrome finish looks good

Nice and simple.

Ronald29609 · 10-10-2019, 09:41 AM

I would like a full door panel that wraps over the window sill for my 67 C10.
Any OEM panels that will work? I have sen TMI panels but they are pricy. An other companies make them. Thanks, Ron

OregonNed · 10-10-2019, 10:03 AM

OregonNed · 10-15-2019, 03:22 PM

Go through SMS Auto Fabrics at smsautofabrics.com. They sent me samples of my blue and black to pick out the right material. It’s a bit spendy though.

Jake1074 · 10-15-2019, 03:38 PM

Thanks - I just emailed them. I also found them usa1 interiors https://www.usa1interiors.com/1967-7...or-panels.html

As you say a bit pricey but they look nice !

Grumpy! I like that red interior...

OregonNed · 10-15-2019, 04:41 PM

Be careful. Bought from USA1 and the material didn’t match. Had to have them redone at the upholstery shop. That plus the material made for close to $1000 door panels for me.

What color / pattern did you order? I’m looking at black and white houndstooth.

OregonNed · 10-16-2019, 11:26 AM

You should be good with basic black and white. I needed blue and black, but their manufactured door panels are aqua, so it didn't match the seat at all.

Hi, Dr Science here, new guy, 71 shortbed, completion coming soon.
I'm really interested in getting a pair of these Ebay Door Panels from seller rrachal11. I tried finding them on ebay but found nothing.
Do you have a way to get ahold of this person ?
