Gen 1 full door panels.

Anybody know a place that sells a matching set of full door panels (black)
Like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-...ts=Make:Ford|Model:Ranger&hash=item5ad0ad3c2f

I don't know of anyplace that sells them aftermarket, or NOS. I was looking for a pair as well until very recently. Had never seen them with the exception of a few pictures on here, and was hunting for a blue set. Don't know how many red, tan and brown sets passed through eBay and at a very high price, but eventually those all but disappeared as well with a single panel being sold here or there. I know they were made in blue, saw one listed on occasion, but never a pair (even listed separate at same time). Gave up on getting blue. Gave up on getting a set period, but got lucky with a red set off a fellow forum member, planning to have them recovered by a local shop. My suggestion would be to hit up local yards, and watch the forums for people parting out a first gen and ask about the panels. May not find black but if you find a set you could always have them recovered or die them black.

Black interiors are pretty rare, and then the full door panels are pretty rare on top of that.

I do know you can get the vinyl door panels new in black from LMC truck though.

Thanks guys, I have been looking for a few months and the link is the only one I have found that is new or looks decent, and that is only one panel. I know black would be a VERY long shot but any color would be great, like you said I could always have them recovered or dyed.

Good ideas for replacing originals...unless, of course, you want to keep it original...I can't find any that are good enough condition so I'm going with the idea in the other thread...

Meh, I'm a welder, you don't know what hot is until you lay your arm on a freshly welded seem.
Got it covered, I take the doors off when it gets hot.

I had Brushed aluminum panels in my Baja Bug, they don't get that hot.

Just get any color panels and paint them. Did mine 2 years ago and they still look good.
