New Door Panels

[78F250]

I was doing some looking around on eBay for different parts. I ran across a pair of new, brown door panels. I couldn't believe my luck. LMC or DC doesn't list brown and for my brown interiored/exteriored truck I couldn't beat it. I bought some "salvaged" ones last year only because the truck didn't have but one. I knew they would be temporary anyway.

What I need now is a good bench seat cover. The kind that has those hog rings to hold it in place. The strings and hooks type just doesn't work.

That door panel looks good. For a seat cover you could always go with some seat upholstery. NPD has some nice upholstery.

In brown? I can sell you mint factory original bench seat covers.

I also had this set of brown XLT door panels that were up on ebay.

Are those held in place securely. I don't like the kind that pulls out of place when you sit down. I saw some brown panels with wood grain. I don't have any wood grain in the truck.

You have a web site where the seat cover is?

 

[Ranger429]

No I don't have a website. Right now the original seat is still in this truck.

You can also add woodgrain to a non woodgrain truck. IMO it is a much more classier look than those plain panels.

What's the seat look like?

 

[Ranger429]

It's near mint. No tears, brown cloth in the center with the vinyl around the edges. It has the 3 diamond pieces in the top section. I'll get pictures later today, going to the shop to strip it some more in a while.

I can pull the covers off the seat for shipping and then you just put them onto your seat or you can buy the whole seat but shipping would be a pain.

 

[78F250]

Way too much a pain to ship a whole seat. What might you ask?

 

[Ranger429]

Let me confirm the condition once the seat is out. If it is in mint shape like I think 100 bucks plus shipping and it's yours.

Sounds like a good deal from Scott, . The covers from NPD are made to be a replacement seat upholstery, so the old would need to come off and the new one replaced and held on by the hog rings (so I've read). They aren't original so the deal from Scott would be better since it's original and would fit like it should.

 

[78F250]

Ok, let me know.

 

[73F100Shortbed]

Yeah I would get the cover from Scott too. Hard to find an original in good shape with no tears, at least around here.

I tried to find some of the "Skanda clothe" in blue to re upholster mine but failed

Did you try SMS Mark ?

 

[m78]

Yes , they had the black, and some weird blue out of the Granandas.

I might try again, maybe they got some in,,,,NOT,,with my luck !

 

[Ranger429]

Both the top and the bottom section are off the seat ready to be shipped. They will need to be cleaned. What I do is hand wash them and let them air dry.

Top of seat. No tears at all.

Bottom section.

Driver side where it is usually all torn up.

How do we go about the funds transfer?

 

[m78]

Those are in nice shape Scott

Does that truck have the headliner with the metal rectangles ?
