clearly a repaint, exhibiting one of my biggest pet peeves (not that I have that many..) Not only did the painter not paint the black behind the grille (i.e. inside the white grille surround, but he also didn't even finish the white grille surround under the grille area. Can't painters and/or owners at least Google an original factory pic of a truck before they start masking everything in sight off and spraying? Concur, most of the interior is the wrong color. Closer to 66 fawn, but still not correct for that year, let alone for a 65. Oh well. Still, just pickin at the scab - this isn't a bad truck for the price - but I also agree you need to see this one in person, with a magnet. It's clearly got some painted over mud issues.
