I am in the middle of redoing the interior of my 89 Crew Cab, adding the missing headliner and doing a stereo install.

This is what I started with.

I started by pulling the interior door panels out of a 91 parts Suburban that I have. Since Suburbans have a better chance of being in good shape, this is what I started with.
I don’t like the factory pouches and I wanted the Crew Cab interior trim.
I also will be ditching the factory pull straps that are always broken.

Stripped the panels bare and gave them a good cleaning with paint prep scuffing paste which has both a soap and a scuffing agent in it.

Filled the holes, added a few coats of filler in prep for paint.

...then coated and textured the panels. These aren’t the final color, but are close.

I will wait about a week and hit them with some Dark Carmine SEM color coat that I had mixed up in quarts.

Still to come are the custom lower panels that will house the speakers, rear sub install, redo the dash, recover the seats, color the headliner trim red and install the headliner…..
