The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors N.O.S. A-D truck inner door trim panel 3686116

I recently stumbled across a pair of N.O.S. passenger side only inner door trim panels, GM part #3686116. I installed the better of the two in my ‘48 Chevy ½ ton 5-window deluxe truck. Pictured is the N.O.S. door panel paired with a N.O.S. arm rest.

Prior to the find, maroon Spanish grain vinyl material from Jim Carter was glued to a standard door panel. The photo compares the Carter material with the NOS door panel.

Looks sharp.

Update-I picked up a NOS set of maroon inner door panels in the original wrappers and outer packaging today from a VCCA member 1.5 hours from my house. Cost me $80. They are still out there! LUKE

Well not any more.
You got a great price too.

I am fortunate Carl. I shook the bushes pretty hard. Pinky Randall "Mr. Chevrolet" advised me back in December to place an ad in the VCCA monthly magazine and have faith. He passed away just a couple weeks after our conversation. Thank you for the solid advice Pinky!

Glad I could help you with the panels Luke....:)

Thank you Steve for reaching out to me. It is guys like you that make this hobby so enjoyable. Stovebolters are the best!

fonz8261 Good find,keep pitching for drivers door ! thought about some aluminum ones but would be cold.

Fonz 8261 Maybe you'll hit a trade with a drivers side panel

Mission accomplished...there is nothing like fit and finish with N.O.S. parts. Thankful for the opportunity to be able to use them!

fonz 8261 Looks good !! Took a look at my 51 panels are torn and shot leak a lot of cold,need to change glass too. Found an OK drivers door glass in my barn pile so may take a shot at it.
