I understand that the 77 dash is sappost to be a different shade then the 73 but the 77 dash is almost a perfect mach to the visors. The door panels I cant tell you if they would mach or not. They are super faded as you can see in the picture. Might try painting them.

Yeah the dash and visors look like Dark Saddle. On all the lighter tan interiors, the Dark Saddle was used on the dash. So if you do the door panels with the lighter Saddle Tan, or even the Dark Saddle, then I believe the 81-87 saddle tan belts would look good. I would suggest this, I did these for someone. They were 87 belts, Saddle color, but he wanted the retractor casings done in Dark Saddle. They turned out good. I’m just not sure I would want to do that again. It took a lot more masking, to keep the dark off the lighter webbing.
