Help me pick door panel! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I can't decide what door panels to use. The stock metal panels painted black or org. to match rest of truck or buy the black '67 skin to cover my metal panels. Any suggestions or pics of your panels well help.
Thanks, Bo

Dean23 · 01-14-2003, 11:08 PM

stock metal and paint black. On my 68 Im painting it yellow and having the oanels black to help break up the color

**BIG ORANGE** · 01-14-2003, 11:09 PM

Take the metal panels and have them covered with black and gray tweed,that looks good.

Bo · 01-14-2003, 11:14 PM

Hey BIG ORANGE that would look nice. Where would you look for the tweed material you mentioned? Just your local fabric store??

Bo · 01-14-2003, 11:15 PM

**BIG ORANGE** · 01-14-2003, 11:19 PM

I would check with a local auto upolstery shop thats where I got my at.

barn9 · 01-14-2003, 11:30 PM

Either option would work. This is just my opinion, but I think if you are going to cover the door panels, then they should match the seat upholstery if you want it to look good. What are you doing with the seat?

Bo · 01-15-2003, 12:09 AM

I have a bench seat with a Orange vinyl with black and orange checkered cloth inserts. It is like this but orange were this one is white

AndrewDT · 01-15-2003, 11:32 AM

Black or a tweed would look better than orange. Orange panels would be too much, I think. I do like the color of your truck.

nate68 · 01-15-2003, 02:49 PM

have you ever thought about getting some from Rod Doors? they cost more than stock ones but they are a full length door panel and they look pretty slick

dubie · 01-15-2003, 04:38 PM

steel one painted black!!

Southpa · 01-15-2003, 05:11 PM

Heres what the steel painted black looks like if it helps you decide what you want.

weasel29gm · 01-15-2003, 07:01 PM

Bo, love your truck!!!!!! I'm thinkin' of the same color. What I did was I covered my panels with vinyl but I got to paint them with vinyl black paint. Gonna try it and see how it looks.

HvyChevy454 · 01-15-2003, 07:53 PM

not metal, but i think the black panel on orange paint looks good

**john** · 01-15-2003, 09:01 PM

These are black with black/grey tweed.

DanoDMano · 01-15-2003, 09:32 PM
