door panel nails & sockets '31 PU

I suspect Classtique sells the ring shank nails. You could call Mike at Classtique and see for sure. I believe the sockets that snap in the door for the ring shank nails are only made of nylon, not brass like originally made. The kit I bought from LeBaron Bonney for my phaeton had nylon sockets for the door upholstery which is pretty much the same as for a pickup. The problem with the nylon sockets is they protrude more from the door than the brass ones. I don't know if the nylon sockets can be seen once the upholstery panels are installed on the doors. They would work OK on the bottom, as even if they could be seen unless you lay on you back you couldn't see them.

Classtique sells a 1.25 inch nail that has a spiral on it and a small head. They sell for .45 each. I am not sure if they have the sockets. I bought 20 of the nails from Classtique, but decided not to use them. I will try to include a picture of them. If they fit your needs, you can have them for the cost of postage.

Snyders also has some with sockets listed.
Those won’t work for the door panels. The head is quite a bit larger, and the shaft/shanks of the nail shorter.
The nails you show are for wood, not the brass sockets.

That is why I did not use them!
