Rare door panels?

Hi all, I’ve been looking for door panels to replace mine since their cracked and the arm rests are falling apart, but haven’t seen any like mine and have been searching for 2 years in junkyards marketplace swap meets everywhere. Never even seen a truck with these in them. I have a 93 f150 xlt that’s got manual everything windows locks mirrors 4x4.

Pic of my door panel
Just asking if anyones ever seen these kind of door panels and just how rare are they? Has the cloth trim instead of the padded leather and the integrated map pockets that aren’t separate from the door panel.

I have never personally seen panels like that, I wonder if someone recovered them in cloth?

I seem to recall that being pretty standard on Eddie Bauer editions, and maybe other "Fancy" Trim. It wasn't a regular XLT thing.

guess I’ll just have to settle for the cheap replacements that they make and put the ones I got away :/

I would have thought they were base model door panels on the OP’s truck since they did not have cloth or leather inserts.

How can you have a base model truck and XLT trim?
Would that now make it a XLT?

xl trim ... see the lettering on the fender emblem... you may have to enlarge the picture...

the best option to find these particular door panels is to look for an old government (federal, state, county, or city level) vehicle which in general are equipped with minimal bare bones equipment... another option are construction outfits thinning out their vehicle fleet... i have seen a few in wrecking yards parting out such a vehicle... these are typically used hard in a working environment and not in the best of shape sometimes totaled...

i will get a picture of my panel if i make it home by the weekend...

just keep looking... good luck!

Factory original door cards

These are the door cards on my truck since '92, fresh off the dealer's lot.
Wish someone would start producing replacements for 92 to 96. My knee has been riding against the door for 30 years and 225k miles.

This is mine. Bought it new from the dealer in '92. XLT trim. I'm hoping the aftermarket guys start selling replacements soon, mine is pretty worn in spots.

Oh no, that door panel he has looks like ABSOLUTE LUXURY to us XL base-of-base vehicle owners


My panels are grey and the door is silver frost metallic but this is what us people without any limelight or luxury see on our doors. Those "lights" arent even lights. Just reflector. You know how much I would kill for a door light/ground illumination? lol

On the OPs question, my friends 97 f250 iirc had door panels like that, but he had electric windows. I would assume if you had a higher trim but you requsted manual windows or if it was apart of a package your truck didnt have ??? it would be nice panel + crank window? I guess, are people finding it to be rare because it has cloth and that style or is it a crank and that door panel?

There is a company that makes new door panels. Cant thinknif them right now. I reached out to ask about rear doors on crewcabs and they stated they only made frobt panels for all the vehicles. This was within the last year or so too.

Thanks! Not cheap, but those OEM door panels definitely show my truck's age.
