Interior For '55 F100
I found some bucket seats on eBay that I am wanting to put in my F100. I found a complete interior kit, that had everything but the seats. I'm shaving the doors and won't have inner door handles or window handles, so would i be better off taking my cab somewhere and having them do it( looking to get good quality for as cheap as possible), or would it be better to buy the kit and try to put it in myself? I was also wondering if I bought the kit would the door panels more than likely be smooth or have holes for armrest, door handles, etc?

I've got shaved door handles on the exterior but I don't think it is a good idea to eliminate the interior handles and not sure it would pass a safety without them. Emergencies do happen when you least expect them.

Most if not all kit door panels come with window and door crank holes. You might be able to talk to the vendor and ask if you can order them without holes. I agree that having a door handle on the inside is a safety issue. I guess you could put a quick release somewhere but think about your passenger in an emergency. You'd have to give them a brief like flight attendants do on planes

Agree about the safety issues, but so you know, when I bought my door panels, while the backboard had the holes for the handles, I had to cut throught the vinyl covering to put on my handles. I guess it depends on what panels you buy. Here''s a pic.
