Hey Jim, ever heard of these guys? They carry a 50/50 upholstery kit designed for 87-91. Lots of colors. I don't see the factory XLT Lariat patter though.

I requested a few samples of their blue vinyl

I mentioned Seatz in my post above, but didn't see this offering on their site at the time.

Perhaps it's something they do for Raybuck exclusively? I'd have to go back and check.

I don't have a very high opinion of Raybuck body panels, but I have one in my truck because it was available.

Crazy, I totally missed that post above I guess Jim, sorry about that.

Anyway, if the samples match up pretty good, and I cannot find NOS upholstery, I will probably order one soon. Site says 4-6 weeks for delivery. I could have it before the truck gets back from paint.

They don't offer it on their website.

In fact they don't have anything under 'Ford Pickups 1977 & newer'

So it's either exclusive, or they haven't put it into production yet....

Interesting, yeah, maybe it's a new item that Raybuck is piloting for them.

Ok. Here are the Raybuck blue swatches.

I think the 29v is too dark. The 25v is darn close in person. The back seat has become shiny over the years, which will give it a different look I guess.

What do yall think?

Does anyone have any helpful tips on removing the side moldings on my truck without damaging them?

Picked up a tailgate and panel today. Any tips on cleaning up the red strip of these scuffs? And the alum has some tar, I'll try alcohol on the tar first. I'll order new "FORD" letters, so they all match.

Tailgate panel looks nice.

Are the trim pieces double sided tape? I peeled the ones on the Bronco off, but they were coming off already.

Didn’t look pretty. Used a roto disc to clean up.

Thanks. Yeah I think Ford did the plastic side molding with tape. I guess I can maybe slowly peel them off, but I'm afraid I'll distorted the plastic, or cause some damage otherwise. I guess I was hoping there was a fancy way to hold my mouth and they'd fall off. Lol
