i just got an 81 bronco and i cant find a single place to find interior replacements. i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to fix up the inside, mainly the dash, or if you knew a place that sells interior replacement parts. Basically the whole inside is shot so i am completely reduing her in and out. any ideas will help.

Right now the interior and and the paint are all brown. but i am looking at making it black and silver two tone. I want to make the interior black and chrome, or something around those lines.

Welcome to the Zone, when looking at catalogs for dash covers, read carefully. They sell anything from a complete replacement to what is called a cap. A cap is designed to fit over the top of what you have not replace it. Trim parts can be painted with paint made especially for that purpose. You might want to take a trip to some of the auto parts recyclers in your area to look for good but used trim parts. I did my entire interior that way, including finding a perfect dash cover. Most parts from 80 - 81 are interchangable including those from pick up trucks.


Good luck,

:)>-

Duplicolor makes some paint designed speciffically to paint interior plastics. I bought some cans at autozone and sprayed them on the kickboards. What a difference they made. They come in all different colors and are specific to make so you can get the exact color.

I am restoring an 82, I have bought a few things both interior and exterior from both Broncograveyard and LMC as suggested earlier, as well as from National Parts Depot. They are at www.npdlink.com where you can get a free catalog.

It hasn't been mentioned yet that JCWhitney sells interior parts for cars and trucks and specifically 80-86 Bronco parts
