Is there a difference between the replacement door panels offered by LMC versus those offered by Classic Industries or Brothers? Just curious if they all get them from the same manufacturer or if they are different and one is higher quality than the others.

Based on what I've seen there are essentially two aftermarket replacement door panels available. The LMC style ones are plastic (basically), utilize stock or very similar to stock trim and have no fabric inserts. The Classic Industries style ones are also plastic but they don't use the factory trim to the same degree and instead have a fabric insert that takes the place of the upper silver piece. This is all on 81-87 panels. I'm not sure about the earlier ones.

Both of the trucks I will need door panels for are 70's. A 75 and a 78. The 78 I probably won't be overly picky on but I would like the 74 to be as close to stock looking as possible.

I appreciate the response and am pretty sure I will end up buying another truck built after 81 at some point so all info is good.
