Door panels are probbly going to have to be made from 1/8 marine plywood or Masonite and covered with Vinyl or Naugahyde. The headliner is a hard piece to find or make. Paul

Try Lancaster County Upholstery,717-569-3281.They advertise in Double Clutch,says they do E &L model headliners,E would be same pattern as an A cab.Never seen an A model,or anything B model or earlier that had upholstered door panels that weren't aftermarket/custom.

I never really thought about it on the B's but your right. My mixer has vinyl on the doors with the Mack logo, but your right its after market. I suggested a non fiber board panel because I've found the quality of what is out there now is poor. The color flakes off and they aren't moisture resistant as the OEM. Paul

We use ABS plastic to make door panels and headliner panels.It is both flexible and waterproof, is grained on one side, smooth on the other, can be dyed or covered in vinyl or cloth. It is a little pricey compared to cardboard but not by much. We use three sixteenths thickness on door panels and eigth inch thick on headliners. It is sold in 4x8 sheets.

Got to remember that when I get to my mixer. Paul
