Default 1983 SSP package tray

I'm thinking the original package tray in my 83 GSP was of the pressboard type. Is that correct? If so does anyone reproduce it? If so where can I find it in cadet blue?

I would try fox body restoration as a starting point. that may be a tough item to find but I bet it is available somewhere.

'82 was the last year for that patterned material, and '83 up are all similar. You can lightly dye the other blue that's available to match if you need to.

Yes sir. Both of my '83s still have the originals in them (carpet). Headliners are both original vinyl in those cars, also.

10-4 Thanks Mike! I appreciate the info... Who reproduces or carries the correct grain vinyl for the headliners?

Mike did it change depending on the trim package? I know both the 84 OSP cars did not have carpeted package trays. "L" interior package. I need to check my 83 FHP to see what it has as well. I think it is carpeted.

Jim,

That's interesting, because both of mine are GLs. I will take a look in my trim books and see if there's any pictures or mention of any the differences.
