If you have the deluxe interior you can save some serious money by getting standard door panels and transferring your existing trim to the new ones. Checklst gave a couple good sources, there is also Al Knoch.

The chrome pieces need to be drilled out where they are riveted, then carefully drill and tap each rivet location for machine screws. Re-install using correct length screws and fender washers.

I got mine from Al Knoch. I got the bare set and transferred my old hardware........it sure was time consuming and tedious!!!
The next time I replace door panels I'll spend the extra money and get the ones with the hardware installed!! By the way; I am very pleased with their quality.
