Original colors Door Panels
This is my first post:
I just purchased a 72 Cheyenne LB in pretty good shape minus the door panels. American Classic Truck's website offers door panels in several colors. The inside of the cab is the original a dark, flat yellow. How do I determine what color door panels to buy? I want to stay as true to the original as possible. Thanks!

Re: Original colors Door Panels
What color is the dashpad, seat, carpet, steering wheel? That will help us figure it out. I'm assuming the yellow you're talking about is the paint?

Re: Original colors Door Panels
If the truck is original, look in the glovebox for the interior color and code.

Re: Original colors Door Panels
What color are the sunvisors ? Thats another clue. If the dash pad and visors are black its a good bet that the door panels were black also.

Re: Original colors Door Panels
My Ocre / white 72 cheyenne has Parchment door panels, visors, headliner and parchment/houndstooth seat. The parchment is kinda off white. My dashpad is black and carpet is black. Ocre is kinda a mustard yellow color. Hope this helps.

Re: Original colors Door Panels
If everything is black including the seat(assuming it's original), The door panels would be black.

Re: Original colors Door Panels
I think ochre must have been one of the most flexible of all exterior colors as far as the matching interior was concerned. I have seen alot of black,parchment and mine which is brown.

Re: Original colors Door Panels
I may be wrong but that color of brown is called saddle.

Re: Original colors Door Panels
I believe that there is a little more to switching from molded to flat or flat panels to molded. Don't the shafts on the window cranks and door latches need to be longer if you have molded panels?

Wouldn't the plastic door panel need to have holes in it to accept these tabs?. I have only seen solid plastic door panels. Just curious.

Re: Original colors Door Panels
The tabs are more like pins and yes the panels actually have slots stamped in them as holes would need to be precise and slots allow for some adjustment.
