Post restoration of an 1980 F-150

I'm haveing a hard time finding any interior parts such as moldings and complete dash assemblies. I've checked JCW, but know luck there. I want to change all the interior design as in color. Its all Lt. blue, which I hate, so I want to change it to gray. The truck will be red. Any other ideas and suggestions are welcome. I really want to redo the whole inside of the truck. Carpet, seat, the whole dash assembly, headliner and ALL of the molding inside of the truck. Thanks, i didn't know where else to post this kind of Q.

Billy; 1980 F-150 std. cab long bed 2x4 auto, rebuilt .030 over 400 Big Block

If you go to the wreckers you might be able to find everything you need cause the interior in my truck came entirely from a local one and to make them like like use lots of armorall(sp?) May i make one suggestion? I would go either red or black for the interior, it looks better than gray trust me. If you want to see what a red/black combo looks like take a look in my gallery(the interior isn't quite done cause i need to drill a tone of holef for the new trim and the middle seat is gonna get recoverd)

My mom got them for me for a B-day present last year(I love my mom). Pretty cool eh, but they don't stay in place very well.

Cool restoration of an 1980 F-150

Hi Billy, I have been restoring my 84 F-250 for five years now and have found a great many used and new old stock Ford parts on E-Bay Motors. Check them out, I think you find what you need if you keep searching the site. Good luck. Dan

Ok, read the FAQ, that didn't tell me anything at all about which site you are refering to. Whats the deal? It we're gonna have censorship at least let us know what effing site we are all supposed to ignore.

Perhaps, I can help.

FTE supports sharing info with each other.

There is only ONE site that is not on FTE's support list.

Please read this to find out why.
