Interior Kits

I am wondering if anyone knows where I can find interior dress up kits to fit a 1979 F150 XLT. I would like something Carbon Fiber or alumunim, but can't seem to find anything. I would like to spruce up the bezel and the dash trim along with the glove box door. Any direction would be great, I have been looking online for a week now!!!

You are going to play heck finding a custom fit kit. Check with Crystalux for universal peices that might suite your plans.

You're not going to find anything better than what you already have unless you make it yourself. To my knowlage no one makes anything of that sort for our old trucks.<hints id="hah_hints"></hints>

I'm having a set made by a company that does plaques/labels/nameplates, etc. (like what you'd see on trophies). Mine will be in a brushed aluminum look, but they had a huge color/material catalog to look through. They do all of the namebadges for our company, and they can do other engraving or laser-etching - all they need is the data of what you want. I made drawings for them with all the dims including corner radii and picked the thickness and will just overlay the wood grain in all of my factory Ranger pieces (1977). I would check with any companies in your area that do trophies and such, and if they farm out their labels, ask who to contact!

That is a GREAT idea! I will definitely do that. I was thinking of buying a sheet of brushed aluminum or carbon fiber and doing it myself, but I like the idea of having a pro do it! Thanks so much.
