farmer52 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 If I have my information correct, the first CHs used fiberglas doors which were the same as those on the MH. What was the last year for the fiberglas doors on the CH? I am on a mission to find either NOS parts or nice used interior vinyl door panels and armrests (charcoal gray).

Dirtymilkman Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 1996-97 was the last of the fiberglass doors. When they went to steel doors the interior side was painted body color. On fiberglass doors the interior side was gray. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35724-fiberglas-doors-on-ch/#findComment-245628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ws721 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Why on earth would they replace a door that wouldn't rust with a steel door? That doesn't sound like progress Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

Superdog Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I may be wrong but I think its alummin instead of steel.no,they are steel,I'm pretty sure it was a cost issue,lot cheaper to stamp out a steel door than make one of "Maxi-glass". 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35724-fiberglas-doors-on-ch/#findComment-245738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I had trouble with the fiberglass doors separating. The steel seem more solid too. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35724-fiberglas-doors-on-ch/#findComment-245810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks for the information so far. Does anyone know if the CH fiberglas doors and early steel doors used the same interior trim? I want to upgrade my MH to a Level III interior (vinyl door panels and armrests). I checked Mack and the original interior parts are NLA. Perhaps I can either locate nice used panels or (dreaming now) new panels for an early CH that are still available from Mack. Maybe someone with an early CH and charcoal gray interior could PM their model and VIN and I can do some research. Pics would help too. Below is a pic of a used armrest from a MH.

ws721 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 My MH has very nice interior. Its the grey that you have in the picture. I have it listed for sale. If it doesn't sell maybe we can talk about parting it out Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!
