Description
These bead rolled aluminum door panels replace the original cardboard door panels in a 1947–1954 Chevrolet or GMC Advance Design cab. Cardboard gets damaged and worn out over time; aluminum holds up, and these mount in the factory location.
Features
- Laser cut from 20 gauge aluminum.
- Bead rolled with a classic design.
- Sold as a pair.
- The front side ships with a protective coating so the finish stays scratch free.
- Mounts in the factory location with the optional supplied screws.

- No hardware
Fitment notes
These panels fit the same as the factory cardboard, so the protruding handle mechanism can push a slight bow into them. We recommend flipping the driver and passenger door handle mechanisms to the opposite doors, which runs the linkage in the recessed channel of the door skin. Even with that done, a slight bow remains in these or any flat panel used with factory handle mechanisms.
Not included
- Mounting screws, unless you choose the "Add hardware" option.
- Door handles, window cranks and their escutcheons.
- The protective coating on the front face is shipping protection, not a finish.

Installation
The panels mount in the factory location using the optional supplied screws.
Before you finish the fit-up, consider flipping the driver and passenger door handle mechanisms to the opposite doors. That runs the linkage in the recessed channel of the door skin and reduces the bow the handle mechanism pushes into a flat panel.

Aluminum Door Panels (Bead Rolled) - 47-54 GMC Chevy Truck
Common questions
Are these steel or aluminum?
Aluminum - laser cut from 20 gauge sheet and bead rolled, with a protective coating on the front side to keep the finish scratch free. They are sold as a pair.
Do they mount in the factory location?
Yes, with the optional supplied screws. They fit the same as the factory cardboard, so consider swapping the door handle mechanisms to the opposite doors: that runs the linkage in the recessed channel of the door skin and reduces the bow the mechanism pushes into a flat panel.
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1947–1954 Chevy and GMC 3100, 3800 and Suburban. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.
How long before it ships?
It is a stock item and generally ships within 1-3 business days. Carrier transit time is on top of that, and larger orders can arrive in more than one box on different days.
What if it is not right for the truck?
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return. The part needs to come back new, uninstalled and in its original packaging - once a part has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Return shipping is at your cost, and we ask that returns come by USPS. Made-to-order, sale and clearance items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.
Can I install this myself?
It is designed for an at-home install. Read the fitment notes and the Installation tab on this page before you start for anything that needs drilling, trimming or welding, and where an installation guide or video exists for the part it is linked there.
