Why is there no aftermarket parts for Green 73 to 79 Ford trucks? Like – dash Pads door inserts and carpeting? Just wondering I just recently purchased a 1979 Ford F150 that is green and I cannot seem to find any green aftermarket parts for it. Thanks!

 

We're aware of the issue and I'm sure others will chime also noting your issue.

It's a case of supply vs demand... green wasn't a popular color. A production run of green door panels or dashpads will cost more to produce due to its limited demand.. it'll be a low production number for sure because it'll sit on shelves for a longer time than black, blue, or red. And if the aftermarket does reproduce them, be prepared to pay a lil extra.

 

Ironically... I currently own three dentsides and all three have green interior. This was not by choice mind you, just happened that way. I would gladly pay a little extra for new door panels and plastic parts molded in green.


To the OP. What I have found is that carpet in green is available. Most upholstery shops can recover and reconstruct a dash pad or a seat in green rather affordably. There is a company on eBay that is selling green reproduction door panels for dentsides. They have a different shaped speaker grill and I honestly do not know anything about the color match or quality. You can get the correct color vinyl and plastic dye/paints at most autoparts chans if you want to try to make your own out of a new set. I have heard from buddys that black and blue cover better then tan. Hope this helps.

 

Yeah I have thought of using vinyl paint from the parts stores but I'm not Sure on how we'll it would cover and look, does anybody have any pictures to show?
