Title: Interior kit suppliers?
Post by: Limey57 on 2012-09-25 10:37
Any recommendations for interior trim kits?  I need a headliner, seat covers, carpet and door cards for my 57 Ranchero and don't know where to start looking.  While I'm not made of money, I'd sooner pay a few dollars more and get something that looks and fits well.  I bought a "custom made moulded carpet" for my previous car (60 Impala) and it fitted like a square peg in a round hole.

Thanks

Are you looking for the correct original pattern, or a custom?

Looking for original pattern/colour but not fussy if its non-original material.  I've got someone local who says he can make them but as my interior has been messed around with in the past he hasn't got anything to work from other than photos of an original interior.  Making a moulded carpet is even harder!!!!

http://www.lebaronbonney.com/interiors.htm (http://www.lebaronbonney.com/interiors.htm) They list Ranchero. Their kits are terrific.

Go with the LabaronBonney Kits.   They are awesome and easy to install and really correct. 

If you do the interior to an original form, it will never go out of style.

Thanks, I've mailed them for an idea on prices, their products look pretty good from some of the photos on their site!

I've used the Laborn Bonney kits on my 56 and 57 Crown Vic and hardtops, but I did not know they made a kit for the Ranchero. I agree with suede57ford, they are the best.
