I have a early 49 five window.

Would like to replace the interior cardboard door panels. See there are two types, standard and deluxe. The deluxe has more of a leather grain to it

What do you think came with the truck originally?

I had a '49 five window awhile back, it was the the Deluxe model with stainless garnish around door windows. I would think any five window would be Deluxe and go that route. Somebody out there probably knows if there was a "standard" five window????

From 1947-51, RPO-390 De Luxe Cab Equipment looks like the only way to get the 5-window cab - this option included all the other de luxe cab equipment.

In 1952-53, there were no bright-work options available and the 5-window cab was an option by itself.

In 1954/55, the five window cab was an option by itself AND there were a couple other different de luxe 5-window cab options.

The original question was regarding leather interior covers. In 1949, there was an RPO-361C Leather Trim, Genuine, but the Truck Data Book does not describe the components in this option.

Bought the deluxe panels because the five window was a deluxe model. Also purchased new stainless steel trim. Came out good except for the top corner nearest the dashboard. Seems an half inch to large and sticks out a bit. Is there a trick involved in installing them?
