No sorry , I don't have pictures of every color , I build them as requested I don't have them stocked and probably never will . I offer the door panels and interior kits as a service to the members at a serious discount . There is no profit in building and shipping a set of panels for $85.00 other than maybe a 12 pack of Heineken ! I'm retired , I have a complete interior shop set up at home and no overhead to speak of . I enjoy the work , I stay very busy with my own projects and interior work for the local guys . East Tn has a huge muscle car/ truck enthusiast market . I don't advertise anywhere ( other than here) every project I work on comes from word of mouth .

are these made to go on top of my steel door panels or do you remove them?

[Grumpy old man]

These are replacement panels , or if you want I can send you the skins for you to recover your steel panels , Many times the steel panels are just rusted to bad to reuse them.

..Hey Grumpy..this pic is my 67 GMC door with the new panel I ordered from LMC..The panel as you know is 68 which I like better..but..it is a solid piece of plastic, as you prolly know that too..but.. it is not going to fit without grinding the top or bottom..the top lip of the panel will go under the top metal strip like its 'pose to..but..then the bottom wont go on..
The same design panels you show doesn't have that lip I mentioned to go under the metal strip on door..Do you think your panels you're showing (which I really want) will work on my
67 doors? If so I want a black set..(I'd like to add enough $ for a 12 pack of Heiny)
WELL don't remember how to send pics..Too old to learn all the comp crap!
will get thhe wife (dang I hate that lol )

[Grumpy old man]

I can build them to fit with the upper moulding or without the moulding , I have 67 doors to use as a pattern I just need to know what you want ? If it's something custom all I need is a picture of the panel to reproduce them or even a basic sketch .

[Gus350]

I will take a set for a 68 in light green I also will buy you a 1/2 case lol. Do you redo dash pads that will match the color of the door panel .

Thanks Kevin

Grumpy..Are you responding to my post? If so I'm giving you my order if you think the vertical line design panels that you are showing will fit my door..that's the ones I want..Black..
I'm not sure what you mean by "upper moulding" I'm not modifying any thing on my doors..
If we all set I will give you my address..You do PayPal?

I'm assuming you want to match your seat and the best way to do that is to send me a 1" square piece of your seat material from under the bottom where it's not seen so I can match it as closely as possible , yes I can build you a dash cover also .

Do you have a chrome or painted moulding across the top of your panel now that holds the top of the panel to the door ?

I have some of the light green and light blue materials in stock as of yesterday , if your interested I can send you a sample to match it to your interior , there is a limited amount of these factory colors available .

I've found a set of 1967 -72 ( Detroit "Lions" ) material sample books which show the correct colors and grain of the materials also the stock fabrics . These are the original material sample books sold to upholstery shops across the US back in the day for ordering materials with the correct codes .

got mine today very nice work thank you

[firedemon]

grumpy do I use this for the handle openings or the flat kind or none at all with these panels ? whats the best way to open the holes and fit these if they are to be used I don't want to mess up your work here

Align the panel on the door bottom and sides you can use a thin punch to align it using the lower mounting bolt holes already punched in the panel , push the panel against the door and the window crank and door handle latch will protrude thru the pre punched holes just use a razor blade to cut a small x allowing the shafts to come thru the material ,you can then remove it and install the top edge under the top trim and then install the lower bolts , the door handle bolt holes are also pre punched and you should be able to feel the 2 bolt holes and use the same small punch to locate the nut sets in the door . Easy peasy !

Check the location of the shaft in relation to the pre punched hole if the alignment (centered ) you should be able to use the spacers you have if alignment is off use the flat spacers ,I use original steel panels and doors as patterns so everything should line up good .

I'm glad your happy with them , if anyone ever has any problems ,I'll build them another set for free . I have the light blue and light green materials now also a dark green ,black . I use factory steel panels as patterns so they should fit perfect . I'm still.making the complete I interior kits at a discount also . From mild to WILD you choose the design . All I need is a picture or sketch to reproduce your desired design .

I never did get the sample of the light green can you post a pic of it I'm sure it will be close enough or I'm hoping it will be.

Thanks Kevin

[Grumpy old man]

It's an exact match to new original material ,so expect it to be cleaner and brighter than the material that's been subjected to 49 + years of use and exposure in your truck , for years they didn't reproduce the 60's and 70's "metallic " colors now they do . Pm me if you want a sample . It's the best match I have been able to find and costs twice what I would pay for black .
