Door Panel Trim
I am looking for the interior door panel trim for my 1965 f100 custom cab. Anyone with any info on where to buy some will be greatly appreciated. I am getting close to finishing this 4 year old project and that is probably the last part I will need. The vehicle is not a complete original restoration , but I would like to keep as much 1965 as I can. Maybe someone has an idea for how to make the door/window handle panel look as good as possible if the trim for the O.E.M. panels cannot be found.

1965/66 use the same trim. 1964 does, too, but the upper piece doesn't have the one recessed screw hole toward the front of the door on each side. Subtle change. Here's 5 of the pieces on eBay and some of the clips. The clips are reproduced by Carolina Classics but I don't believe the trim is by anyone. Hard to tell if these are all in good shape. Looks like two pieces are layed out backwards. Might have some wrinkles in them. Someone else might have a spare set that is complete and in good shape.

Chad: WOW! That seller is pretty proud of his stuff, and it's far from minty!!
Most of you should consider yourselves lucky, with a Crewcab, I have had to find enough to do FOUR DOORS!!

Thank y'all for the input. I have been trying to find these trim pieces for a few months now and just recently decided to try F.T.E. and other similar forums. Just goes to show that when people have things in common like old vehicles that they go out of their way to help each other. I had looked into those pieces on e-bay and wasn't so much worried about the asking price as I was about the condition. I am leaning toward getting with my upholstery guy and machinist and custom making something to replace them with. THANKS AGAIN.

So true James. I have the full set from my Ranger but also picked up another set from a buddy when I had the chance. They were really cheap and one never knows when they might buy another truck that is in need of them. Lol. The corner pieces are so often missing. Even if they reproduced just those it would help a lot of people complete a set, I'd be willing to bet.

This is SO true. I am in need of just the driver's side corner for mine and I would pay handsomely to get one. I keep an eye on eBay, but no luck so far. I have seen a set of corners alone sell for $80. I am at the point where I am willing to pay that for the one left side that I need......

I set it up to receive daily Ebay email notices; Ford parts and there was a set at $75, however, it's open for bidding with 6 days remaining, will be interesting to see what the final bid is??

They should have put a recessed screw hole in the corner piece. The one clip and the way it slips into the other two pieces is just not secure at all. An elbow could knock it loose and the next time you open the door it could fall off.

Have you been able to see a difference in the 1964 trim with the lack of the one screw hole in the upper piece? I've seen some like that and Don told me that a few times and I've seen a couple of 1964 trucks that looked like they had the trim originally and it was missing but no corresponding hole in the door where the screw would go.

If I see another piece like that I'll have to grab the picture and post it on here.
