Is there a list of available options for a 1963 F-100 somewhere? I am particularly curious about my inside door panels that have huge zippers to store things inside the door cavity. They look like they are factory panels, but I have not seem them on the few other 63s I have looked at.

Those are stock door pockets and they are hard to find in decent shape. Others will chime in I'm sure.

They look like they are factory panels, but I have not seem them on the few other 63s I have looked at.

Accessory zippered "Door Storage Compartment Kit" introduced in 1963. Available in beige, black, blue, green and red. Original price each: $13.35. Kit included (1) compartment (1) chrome plastic moulding.

Right/Left is the same / Will fit all: 1961/66 F100/1100 / 1963/69 N/NT/T500/1000 / 1967/69 F800/1000 / The compartment and/or moulding could also be bought separately. Separate parts obsoleted in 1983, kit long before.

Reproduced by Bob Drake (bobdrake.com / Carson City NV) in black only, comes w/the moulding. When I called and asked, Bob said he does not sell the mouldings separately.

The door pockets can be found used, but its moulding (C3TZ-8120110-B) is the bug-a-boo. Plastic chrome fades away, peels off. Mouldings break easily, so are almost impossible to find in decent condition.

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has the moulding. But, Carolina Classics has the billet aluminum version (carolinaclassics.com / Durham NC / 800-598-4211).

Thanks, mine are still in pretty decent shape except most of the chrome has flaked off the molding. Nice to know there are options if I ever do a complete restoration. Right now it is just a nice driver.
