Any suggestions on where I can find interior parts like panels, headliner, etc. for my 1980 Club Wagon. Mine came stripped, and I'm trying to fix it up.

Thanks

your best bet will be the local junkyards for interior parts. You might also check out some of the truck junkyard on the internet. There are all kinds of parts available from these sites. If you are just looking to cover the walls and ceiling, why not use paneling, it works great and you have quite a choice of colors and style.

 

Paneling works well, and here's another idea..... Purchase some 1/8" masonite (the same stuff as pegboard, without the holes). Use a jigsaw to cut your own panels, which can then be painted with polyurethane (to seal them). After they have dried, mark and drill the appropriate holes for interior screws to pass through. You can then use a quality spray adhesive, such as that made by 3M, to thoroughly and evenly coat the panel, followed by an application of carpet (or thick material of your choice). Cut the carpet so that about 2" of overhang is left around all edges, and roll this around and glue it flat to the backside. I made a set of replacement panels for my Bronco in this manner...... I bought the automotive-type carpet in a roll from Wal-Mart, and also installed a pair of flush-mounted cargo lights, switches, and a power point (cigarette lighter outlet)in them. They look better than stock, and the carpet works wonders for quieting the interior. You can also purchase lots of van and RV goodies from J.C. Whitney, as well as fiberfoam insulation to install behind the panels.
