Hot Rod's classic truck parts has them and the screws. I'm sure mid fifty has them also.

I didnt find anything from either vendor. Do you have a link you can ad. They will be covered by the actuall door panel. I can make them myself since the will never show but, if they can be bought reasonably I buy them rather than build.

I recently did a paint job for a guy and his truck was missing the access panels. I live close to Direct Sheetmetal so I had Dave make me up a pair. They were flat 16 ga panels with punched holes for the mounting screws and all the proper radiuses on the corners. He charged me $30 each for them. Owner of the truck was very pleased with them.

Yes but I have had to venture out a little further lately to bring home "good" stuff.

Thanks John, I looked but couldn't find them. Price is reasonable, no rust or dents to deal with.

Are you going to be putting door panels on your doors or just leaving them painted? I think it would be much cheaper to do as Charlieled suggested

Custom cab trucks with factory cardboard door panels did not have the metal access panels under them. So if you are going to cover the doors then you really don't need the metal panels

I'm going to be covering them with door panels. Shop that's doing the interior said they could make the door inspection plates and roll beads in them to take the tin canning out of them. Haven't given me a price yet. I have 3 used pair located only have a firm price from one fella. Waiting to hear from the other two.

Upholstery shop said he won't put panels on the door without the panels. He's concerned with moisture
