Reproduction Door Panels...YUCK!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Westwind · 07-25-2016, 06:29 PM

After years of the Arizona Sun my door panels are cooked. So this weekend I started looking at reproduction and even did the google search and they are just Yuck. My concern with 117 degree temperatures that they'll literally melt.
Does anyone know of a company that makes a decent set?

I used coverlay door panels and dash cover on mine..I'm pleased with fit and quality..

lmc sells some that are plasticish which I have.....might have to get some an have them covered with some vinyl leather etc

Got mine from LMC, love em". On the first link, page 68, if you read the description. These are replacements and NOT reproductions. They also have an ultraviolet inhibitor to help prevent damage from sun exposure.. Here's a pic of mine. The fit was great and it accepted all my trim with no issues at all.

Bought my first set from classic parts of America. And they are the only thing I have bought from them that was junk. Went to lmc and couldn't be happier

Thanks guys. Just scary when they are so many bad reviews on the Internet.

I purchased mine from LmC and just installed the other day. I'm okay with them just pissed I didn't notice I need to order armrest separately! Might order armrest from brothers with there sale they have

Yeah I like the panels from LMC, but the armrest are junk. They look like something made by the Junior High School wood shop class. I got mine (81-87) from:

This place still has OEM armrests, if your willing to pay more.

Thank you, I'll check them out!

Thanks guys, I'll check them out. i might tint my windows a bit darker as well, which should help with the sun damage.

That would certainly help, out there in Arizona. I took my tint off, it was scratched up a bit from the PO. I was going to have them re-tinted, but I like it the way it is now, without the tint. But it helps that mine stays in the garage all the time.
