81 interior parts

I am new to the board and currently working on an 81 long bed with 90 burb front clip and doors (350/vortec heads/th400). The truck was mostly done, but has lots of small things that still need done.

I haven't messed with old cars for a long time, but had a 50 ford PU and a 64 impala among a few other projects that I played around with back in the day, before the wife and kids came along.

That was about 20 years ago, so I am kind of a newb, and I have a couple of questions:
  1. Does anyone have any good sources for interior parts, mainly door panels, dash pad, etc.
  2. Has anyone experimented with removing hail damage using dry ice?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris. Welcome to the website. Check out our vendors for parts. Not sure about the dry ice trick.

Re: 81 interior parts

your dry ice question is a new one on me... i would ask that over in the body work section... as to the interior parts id try CaptKaos first ( a site vendor) then the LMC catalogue.. Also one of the other site vendors, Stitch does some interesting interior things too

I have heard of the dry ice trick and tried it a couple years back with no luck on my truck..but it's always a possibility I did it wrong
