Put in what you like! If you have big trucks, they are grey inside, one
color. If you have smaller trucks, they were usually the champaigne color,
kinda spotty with diff colors in it,but fade with age. If you remove a part
over painted spot, you can see orig color. Myself, I like the Maroon seat
and panels for doors. Think they came on more like in 54 models, not sure.
Grey is BORING to me, kinda Generic. Brown works, Maroon best! Lots of
fellas "customize" and dont put trim on and just make a wood panel or fancy
cloth covered one and mount it instead of "cardboard" that is there.
Roddoors Co. even has a full door panel, you have to cover with cloth, but
trims all of it. These door panels are cheap, only anout $15pr. and some are
less cardboardy than others. The trim around them is more money, just paint
yours if good, or you can get stainless for big bucks. Don't forget the
clips or screws if needed.
