Olive,black,and parchment all look good.

ls1nova71 · 02-14-2012, 07:24 PM

Med olive and white looks best with dark olive interior in my opinion.

dfwright · 02-14-2012, 09:00 PM

I love the Medium Olive interior with Parchment seat/door panels, Sandalwood steering column and dash. I may have some pictures stashed around if someone else doesn't post up.

This truck should have a sandalwood column/wheel, but I had a nice black wheel so I painted the column to match.

Is that the original Sandalwood dash pad, or a replacement? If replacement, where did you find it?

rbagley · 02-15-2012, 03:08 PM

Here's one

No it is not the original dash pad. It probably came out of one of our parts trucks, I dont remember. This is what the truck looked like before we "survivorized" it.

Did that gorgeous truck come with black interior originally? Just curious, i haven't seen any that I knew were original and have always liked the combo - and I've seen some other pics of this awesome truck and thought it was a very good lookin resto, so wondered if black was the original interior trim color. Thanks!

I used to hate green and blue interiors...or any color for the most part. Black was the only color I liked many years ago. White was pretty cool and a favorite for custom interiors. Red was alright for sporty/flashy,too. This was in the '60s. Getting more into these trucks I started liking Parchment cuz there's something cool about a white interior in a truck...mostly now that they may not be used for work any more. But I had a ,70 CST/30 Custom Camper medium gold poly w/parchment interior that I put a utility bed on and worked out of. I had no problem keeping it clean (oil & grease are another story). I started liking saddle as my favorite color in these trucks because the vinyl is made to look like saddle leather. But,I just can't quite get into saddle with medium olive poly. You don't see it much. I think I actually like it now,just like I like green and blue interiors now.I look at it as maybe not what I would have ordered,but cool cuz it's just so out of that era. They just don't do colors like they used to and that in itself causes me to like it all,even the funkier the better. The same with paint colors. Some just scream late-60s/early-70s. I've had quite a few medium olive poly trucks. Most were black interior and a few were parchment. Both look really sharp against that paint. But that olive in a medium olive poly truck is something I've really grown to like a lot. You rarely,if ever see that interior in anything but the olives. I'd like to see a black with olive interior.

I vote green interior, I had it in my green truck and loved it. White is tough to keep clean and black is too hot in the summer sunlight (when it peeks throught the clouds in the PNW).

**70cst** · 02-15-2012, 10:57 PM

Here is mine ...

Not a truck but medium olive green.

71 super · 08-23-2012, 10:48 PM

yes it was an original black interior, but not original shoulder belts or buckets.

**jocko** · 08-23-2012, 10:56 PM

Got it, thanks! Looks awesome, that is one of the nicest med olive interiors I've seen.

**DeadheadNM** · 06-06-2013, 08:18 PM

Anyone have pics of a 72 medium olive truck with a saddle interior? Trying to imagine what this Blazer would like like if restored:

Vandy5 · 06-06-2013, 09:58 PM

+1 for the highlander plaid and off white!!

tinsoldier · 06-06-2013, 10:45 PM

I converted mine to black carpet and seat..Was going to do the door panels too but after seeing how it kind of matched, I am just going as is for the time being.

tinsoldier, that is a sharp looking truck!

Is the steering column black too or is it still the original dark olive? My medium olive truck interior is a collection of colors now and I'm thinking about going to black to make things consistent and easy.

Thanks!

tinsoldier · 06-07-2013, 10:46 AM

The steering column and dash pad are black...
