Exclamation Inner cab corner panels from Dennis Carpenter

I sent an email to DC, inquiring if they've ever considered re-popping the panels for the inside of the cab corners on these trucks. I know I certainly could use a set, mine are pretty hashed. They responded, saying there isn't enough demand for them.

So, I'm wondering how many of you out there would be interested, currently, or could have used these in past builds, of having these panels made up? I think if there was enough interest, they would consider looking into this!

Don, that would be awesome! What I'd like to do, is see what kind of interest there is for these inner panels, so I can let DC know that there would be a market for them, so they could justify the tooling to make them.

I had to fabricate my own last summer, but I would gladly have bought a pair if they would have been available.

Every bump I've ever owned has needed these replaced.

If we can get enough response, I'd like to have one of the guys from Dennis Carpenter get on here, so maybe they'll see they can sell these panels.

What are you doing to that poor truck , Pat?? I wonder if inner panels might also fit other years.

Mine are not 1/2 as bad but I also can't see the insides. Just yet.

It's just sitting waiting for time and money

I would imagine they would sell just as many inner panels as outers. I've seen trucks with good outers and rotten inners, because they get hit with more road debris.
