I need to replace my crew cab door panels and am trying to stay stock. It looks to me like all of the big manufacturers (TMI, Sewfine) are going with a consistent front and rear panel finish (vinyl with heat seams), whereas the original panels in the rear were a utilitarian pressboard-style material. Anyone know of a source for the original style rear panels?

Might be worth sending Clara a message, she makes them for splittys.

I remember seeing some many years ago that looked like a product called Masonite. Comes in 1/8" and 1/4" thicknesses.

I have a pair of the original Masonite-looking ones. They are fairly beat up, and I will be replacing them with something nicer, using them for a pattern to make new panels from thin birch plywoord. They are nothing fancy, that's for sure.
