Still waiting on pics but the 67-72 door panels WITHOUT door pulls are $219, with the pulls they are $244. (shipping not included) I am going to list them with door pulls in the catalog as I and he HIGHLY recommend them.

Ya its unfortunate, because Blaine sent me the SAME "Cut-n-Paste" email that he did 2 weeks ago, when I asked him for pictures.
My Trucks in the shop NOW, and I wanted to look at the product he has left, but without pictures, it's just a waste of time.
He wants me to call, him, but that still wont answer my questions as to WHAT they look like.
I need door panels within 10-14 Days, and can't just order them "Blindly".
I've heard so much about these Panels.
I have one member here, trying to dig up some pictures, but hasn't sent them yet, but that STILL wont tell me what Blaine's got left in stock.
I try to give my Money to Vendors here that support the Forums and what other Members recommend, but after 2 years, my Interior is getting painted and I need info now, (not in the Future).
I've contacted another company that does aftermarket Door Panels for our 67-72 C-10's/GMC's. So I'm waiting on them to see what they have,

This is what they look like in Tim Christians truck:

THANKS FOR THE PIC!!!

So does anyone know if the Rod Panel;s come with the holes for Window/Door and Mounting, come already punched (or at least scribed)?

I just need a plain set so I can have my Upholstry shop here, match up the new Panels, Visors and Dash Pad.

there is no mark for the window crank or switches, and its mounts up with Velcro like mounting pieces, and the panels do require a little trimming to fit correctly

[Captkaos]

Actually all 73-87 the sets I have there a dimple where the window cranks go. There are no mounting hole marks as it attached with Dualloc.

What's "Dualloc"?

Also, those that have used it (and Velcro), how do you like the way your Panels adhere?
Would you say it's better than using Srews?

I'd like to hear your opinions.

3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fastener

3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners are a fastening solution that can replace screws, bolts and rivets. The fasteners contain hundreds of mushroom-shaped stems that audibly "SNAP" together to form a secure attachment with strong adhesive backings that adhere to your substrate. Adjust, realign or reattach with ease, leaving your product with clean, smooth lines free of holes or interruptions.

Ah got it.
So it's GM's Version of Velcro, or is there something SUPERIOR to this,
more than Velcro?

I ended up using "trim" style screws on mine (73-87 panels). The Dual-Lock stuff just didn't get the job done, it gets hot here in the summer, the panels wouldn't hold.

The screws look right at home, 4 are exposed and 2 are under the carpeted panel. I've since added the included door pulls to the arm rests. The pulls also secure the arm rest to the door.

im interested in the 73-87 crew cab door panels i was looking at your site and you have a link where it shows them covered on a red crew cab but the rear door panel looks nothing like the one's you have in that pic i love the look of the covered one's the one on your web page looks bulky what stlye are you selling. and also are you now selling the front roll pan for the 73-87 chevy again and is it a weld on or bolt on thanks for your time?

[classicchev]

Hmmm, rear crew doors EH!!!

[Captkaos]

The front and rear door panels are on OJOEs crew cab (build thread is here)
They are the exact same panels, he just modifed them to suit his style.

Front Rod Doors Panels

Rear Rod Doors Panels

Captkaos roddoors wouldnt be able to make a set that would accept the door panel style clips that the newer chevy trucks use. Wish i had a picture to show what i am talking about but it is just the standard push style clip that most newer cars use.

[cvalcore]

is there any info on what he did to get this look i love it

Are you talking about the Christmas Tree clips? All you need is a hole, but these panels set off the door in most areas.

He cut the upper overlay where it surrounded the inner door handle.

[54Caddy]

yes thats what i am talking about but there would have to be a hole on the backside of the door panel for them to lay in, Then the clip would grab the metal on the door. And so are you saying these panels arent flush that they have gaps or what exactly do you meen by set off the door?

I can only speak about the 73-87 panels.......I don't see how you could use tree type fasteners or any other type of clip to mount the panels. The 73-87 panels fit flush with the door around the edges, from the edges inward there is a gap.

[54Caddy]

ok thanks for clarifying that going to order these panels soon i hope

[DREAMER1]

How can I get a catalog?

Bryan's (S10Fan) response is spot on. And by Gap he means offset off the door.

Dreamer,
Rod Doors doesn't have a catalog, technically they are out of business. I have all their products on my web catalog (the RD- PN's):
73-87
http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/me...y_Code=7387INT
http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/me...tegory_Code=DP

67-72 (no pics, still waiting on pics of what the customer is getting)

I can't brag enough about Rod Doors products. Many of my friends over the years have used RD panels on street rods and other customs. My door panels get a ton of compliments and folks are amazed I covered them myself. The quality is top notch. Yes, you will need to "fit" the panels to your doors but the ABS plastic is very forgiving and once you cover them folks will think GM did it. Another neat thing about the ABS construction.....If you decide later to change interior colors or material, simply remove the material and glue on something else.

Rod Doors like a lot of other smaller companies weren't able to survive this dreadful economy we're currently living in. Fortunately for us many of their products are still available in limited quantities. I purchased my panels through board member/vendor Captkaos.

I've considered buying another set just to have them for the next truck.

[Captkaos]

All of the products are available, he just has to make them as they are ordered. I have convinced him to keep making them, it's just him again now and not a factory. Same as it was when he started pretty much. He pretty much keeps a set of the 73-87 stuff on standby.
