interior trim questions

[edmccloughloch]

I am redoing my interior - both because it needs to be done and to match the new paint that is soon to come - boxwood green and wimbledon white. currently, interior trim is blue. My questions:

1. my truck is a 69 ranger - so i want the original style door panels - but I can't find them made in green...anyone know of a place where they have these panels in green - dennis carpenter only makes red, blue, light blue, black, and parchment - no green.

2. What do I use to recolor a dash pad - I am going to buy a new black one - since they only make black now - and would like to to be green...

3. What is the correct color for the seat /carpet/etc for this paint combination?

For the door panels I'd suggest buying a light color and dyeing them yourself with a good-quality vinyl dye....which is the same product you'd use for the dashpad. Just do a Google search for a phrase like 'how to dye a vinyl dash pad' and you'll have enough reading to keep you busy for a while.

I'm attaching a couple of pictures of a '70 XLT so you can get a visual of what your interior should look like. The carpeted firewall cover adds a nice touch.

Green seems to be one of the hardest colors to find, I looked for a long time trying to find green shoulder harness seatbelts to put in my truck. Luckily, both our dashpads on our trucks are not cracked. Its weird, alot of these trucks are green, but there are not alot products sold in green.

Does anybody make a door panel that looks like the one's in the picture?...The only ones I've seen aftermarket are sort of plastic-ish with a big square stitching pattern and no woodgrain....

Check National Parts Depot (NPD), they have the style you're looking for. I think LMC carries them also.

I had never been on NPD before you mentioned it. Man that was a bad idea - they have parts for my 69 and my 04 - goodbye bank account.

Glad I could help.
