Trim Panel Assembly Panel

Question: The interior trim panels (PN 27D12) on my '82 F100 regular cab are all to pieces. I'm referring to the trim panels in the back corner of the cab where the seat belts connect to the body. Found some good ones at the local salvage yard from '89 F!50. Does anyone know if they will fir my '82? I did grab the cowl vent from the '89 which is better than my original. I'm hoping they might interchange.

Basic part numbers only shown in pics. The text section of the parts catalog is required to get the complete part number.

The number marked on the part is the ID engineering number, not the part number.

Part numbers, by color, are shown here: Rear Corner Trim - ???Gary's Garagemahal. (Thanks to Numberdummy.)

The cowl will interchange, but I don't know about the corner trim. Please let us know how it goes if you try it.

I'm thinking about going to get the pair. It's worth a try as the yard is very reasonable. If they fit, good, if not I can always resell them. New cowl should keep leaves, acorns, etc. out of the heater duct a little better than the slots in the original.

Yes, the polkadot cowls do a much better job of filtering things out. But the slotted kind can be made to do that with a plastic mesh below.

I had a roll of screen in the garage, but ran across this '89 cowl in the salvage yard. It sealed the deal. Never found a wheel for my spare, but that was my first trip out.
