Default Interior door panels help!!!
So I purchased a 1972 corvette with lots of parts and it’s been a slow process. Well today I looked at the interior door panels and it seems as they don’t fit up to the doors. Could someone please tell me what year panel these are and possibly what year c3 would fit on 1972 doors. Thank you

Those look to be 78-82 panels. No surprise that they don’t fit.

70-76. 68 and 69 panels would also fit but are slightly different from the 70-76. Same for 77 panels; they'll fit but have trim differences.

Hi m8,
You're 'probably' looking for a door trim panel that looks like this.

I say probably because the was a custom interior option that had some wood grain trim on the panel and piece of carpet along it's bottom edge.

The custom interior was only available in black and saddle for 70-72 cars.

Regards,
Alan

This is for my 75 (oxblood color for 73-75), but this is the style you’ll want.

THANKS a lot guys. I’ll try and clean them up so I can move them and hopefully not put too big of a dent in my pocket when I go to buy the correct ones
