The interiors of these trucks are simple - as best I can tell, this truck represents a deteriorated amateur restoration from the 1970s - when reproduction parts were not available. Now I can get just about any part that I want on the Internet. It's great! The door panels and headliner are made from molded cardboard. Looking at the original photo on top, the original cardboard was covered with vinyl. It had much water/moisture damage (I think that this truck sat in a leaky barn for many years after it was fixed up). Anyway, I bought new panels with metal trim from Jim Carter - about $50 - then polished up doors and installed. It will make a nice improvement! Slowly coming along...
