Body color paint on bezel and gb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

While stomping through a overgrown junkyard I came across a 68 ton GMC and the dash bezel and gove box where painted body color with silver trim. Is this anything unique? I am not very familiar with the 67's and 8's and their trim options. This is a V-6 four spd with PB truck. Also didn't have my camera so no pic's.

for a gmc, it's pretty common.

The silver was called "Fawn". The instrument panel was usually "India Black" w/ Fawn trim. The glovebox on my '67 K/10 Sub was a crinkle black w/ fawn trim. '68 C/10 has an all orange [body color] glovebox door.

My light green 68 1500 has a light green bezel with the silver same with g/b.

Most GMC trucks were done like that, and if it got a black inst panel, then the glove box was done in black too.
