Thanks for posting that. I was told that mine was Fawn, but I could not find any record of it.

Can you post the colors for the other years (80/86) as well?

National Parts Depot is a sponsor and a link is at the top of the page.

I'm just supporting our sponsors, not giving you a hard time CheeseSteakJim.

Thanks for the headsup. I'm still kind of new here. Still, like it or not it's another option for him to check out and I know for a fact they sell door panels and dashpads. Dunno what kind of quality they are but they are indeed available in case he can't find them elsewhere.

[uncle.stosh]

Nobody sells the dash pads.

Your only source is OEM gray (still available for $$$) and junk yards.

Or ebay (2 currently for sale- 1 blue at $20 + shipping, 1 tan re-skinned in black with crazy high shipping) possibly this forum's classifieds, ( somebody parting out a vehicle), Craigslist (longshot) or a forum member that spends more time at the junkyards than I do on the toilet-I won't mention any names.lol.

[uncle.stosh]

Now, who could you possibly be talkin' about?

hmmm.I wonder why i've never seen any of those colors...And you've seen green?Wow.Was that in a custom truck?You know like the 70's Free Wheelin trucks?Cuz all the yards round here have blue,black,tan or red.Sorry bout that.Do you have any pics?

[81-F-150-Explorer]

I only have the codes for the 1981 off hand. I know Numberdummy has them all though at his fingertips.
Several Green, with green interior 1980-1981 trucks are featured in The Dukes of Hazzard episode, "The Great Santa Clause Chase"

Dark Spruce Metalic with Spruce interior. My most favorite colors infact.

Thanks for the advise! I will pull the codes tomorow, she is up the road getting a new windshield after a storm blew a huge stick through it.

Very interested in parts! Forgive me but what does "PM" mean?

I will also send a picture of dash interior!

[doug1222556]

"PM" stands for private message.

Well, no I guess they don't... but they do sell full dash pad covers that is basically the best you can do under the circumstances.

So does BOTP and NPD which are both sponsors, and NPD is about $30 cheaper than Lick My C-ck.

The Body code is BG4

I think that means Blue exterior and its (LT BLUE) and gray interior which I pretty sure that it is. I was able to hunt down the original owner and he said it was gray. So...Im looking for a rt and lf door pannel with arm pad without power lock or window, dash pad in gray.....if anyone has it? Anyone know where to get a gray leather or vinyl reupholstrey kit for a 1986 F150 bench seat? LMC doesnt sell it far that year with that color. All they have is black, blue, red and tan.

Has anyone ever used the product that LMC sells called COLORBOND that you can use to spray color plastic? Page 86 of LMC FORD TRUCK 1980-96 CATALOG LMC does sell a dash pad but only in BLACK, BLUE, RED and SADDLE. Thought about getting the black adn treating it with the gray "COLORBOND".......

What does OE finish and OEM approved mean?

Thanks again for all your imput!
