Mikesbucketlistmack Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Since you ol' Mackaholics are so good at finding parts for this Mack newbee owner, do you know where I can find the upholstery panels that were installed on the interior door panels of the R model Macks in the late 1980s ? Everyone I've asked so far, including the local Mack dealer doesn't know. Thanks, again ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebrake86 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Like the black perforated ones? Or tan? I'm about 95% sure you can't get either one anymore but I bought some dark gray vinyl ones a couple of years ago from the dealer in Memphis. They match up with the late 80's gray/black interior pretty well. Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 yep NLAgood luck finding decent used ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution kscarbel2 Posted January 28, 2014 Solution Share Posted January 28, 2014 Also probably no longer available, but Mack interior trim supplier Belmor (vendor code 7909) was offering thru Mack dealers complete interior trim kits in Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 (http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/34169-mack-cabs/).Belmor also offered the new style 1984-on interior design in beige color for older cabs. It was a sharp looking installation, a major upgrade over the old (pre-1984) beige "deluxe interior" option. I recall it being available with a full-size headliner, or a partial headliner (shorter in the front) intended for the installation of a (beige) overhead radio console.http://belmor.com/index.htmlNow, I did a quick search and came up with this seller for the 1984-on beige kit:http://www.finditparts.com/t/300/manufacturer/mack//products/2604217/mack-204sx130 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Just put a drivers side interior panel in a mid '90's RD. The owner had the local dealer search nationwide inventory.Had to wait a bit,but he got it. My '90's panels were held onto the doors with trim screws/washers. This one had like a interior rivet on the back,with holes drilled in the door. Guess I've been away too long.

Superdog Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 that's how the CH door panels are attached until the rivet pulls out of the cardboard,then the good old fashioned screws come back out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesbucketlistmack Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks, guys, especially Big Dog. I found it on that link you gave me. They have them and they are pricey ($600+), but I'm going to get them. Do they install by with the present screws and washers on the interior door panel ?

Do they install by with the present screws and washers on the interior door panel ?It should come with all the fasteners you need. If I recall correctly, the 204SX130 is a straight installation with the full headliner for pre-1984 beige R-models (meaning, it isn't the version for adding the 1984-on overhead console). I'm thrilled you were able to obtain it. Congratulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 if that is a full cab kit,$600 ain't bad at all. Kinda wish they'd show a pic of what you are getting,though. good job finding that kscarbel2 , I'd never heard of that place before. I think I'm going to order one of those kits too.

j hancock Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Same company shows 204SX131 trim kit for $633.31 in gray. MSRP is listed as $1,022.00. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It's been years but I think our dealers used to sell these kits for around $200-$300. I've no idea how/why this outfit still has these Belmor-manufactured Mack interior trim kits in stock. But I'm glad a few will be utilized now.I'd have to guess the 204SX131 is "Level 1 Silver Gray" (remembering these numbers.....it's been a while), and that should have a headliner with the front shortened to allow for the overhead radio console.

MACKS Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Nice find,if I am not mistaken the radio console does not come with the kit and must be order separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of websites either do not update their stock/listing or they want to get you to visit their site (can you say "cookie"?). I think they get a "woodie" seeing all the web hits. Either way mostly a waste of time and electrons. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikesbucketlistmack Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Yup. I went to tat site that Big Dog gave us the link to and the door panels are "no longer available". Guess it's off to a Mack junkyard. Anybody know of any ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwind Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just sharing, the 2000 CX 613 Vision I bought was in terrible, no, make that HORRIBLE shape as far as the interior goes so I made all new panels for the sleeper (has a condo) also for the doors including the side box doors and laid new carpet with pad in the sleeper. Took the seat covers off and washed them, replaced the foam and made the repairs which weren't bad. I know it's not "factory carpet nor colors" but it's a zillion percent better. I'll try to get pictures posted before I sell it. 1 Quote Nothing between us but air and opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
