first try lmctruck.com if they do not have the parts check jcwhitney. if they both do not just paint the plastic interior panels and take the headliner to have a new color put in.

you can usually find someone that does upholstry on the side. they can recover rear seat and put new headliner in. but head liners are easy if you buy some adhesive and material yourself...

Do not try painting your door panels and dash. In short order it will look worse than before.

I respectfully disagree, with a disclaimer.

Like anything else, especially paint related, it all depends on surface prep that's done beforehand. When I was restoring a former SHO that I owned, I couldn't find any decent door panels. Mine were OK physically, but had faded. I was able to find a company that made color matched interior paint. I bought some, prepped as they said to, and they came out so good I ended up doing all the interior plastic.

This was years ago, I don't remember the company name, but the procedure was pretty easy. Fix any damage, wash with denatured alcohol, spray on Bulldog Adhesion Promoter, then spray on the dye.

All total, it probably cost about $200 to do, but the interior looked new when I was done. I kept that car for about 3 years, and never had an issue.

Thats true, prep work is key. It needs to be prepped really good. I don't so much disagree with repainting them as I do changing color. If the paint flakes on a spot at least the color is close to the same. If the color is changed it looks really bad if a spot like that or a scuff or wear mark creeps up.

good to know a prep process for the panels... I want to respray mine gray again from fading... I do agree with the color change being a bad idea... And maybe it's just me but black is about the worst interior color for fading and the truck is going to be steaming hot during the summer (depending on where you live)... I guess I don't have AC on my trucks though...
