Pick My Interior Color - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MDC · 02-04-2009, 06:12 PM

I need help from you guys. My truck is a 67 SWB small window (my avatar)
I plan to paint it silver w/ a white top. Not the A-Pilliars or window frames, just the top of the cab. Interior metal will also be silver.
My first thought was gray carpet, dash pad and door panels with parchment buddy buckets, visor and headliner.
Second thought is all red soft trim.
Ya'll let me know what you think. Post pics if you have them.

See the pic. This is a one-owner '67 that belongs to a guy I work with. It is silver, with a white top and red interior.

I wasn't much of a red interior fan, but the silver truck posted above changed my mind.

Just my .02 but bo with black and grey or blue, they both look good with white.

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-04-2009, 06:36 PM

Landslide so far

NYC-10 · 02-04-2009, 07:10 PM

silver/grey

69halfton · 02-04-2009, 07:12 PM

never been a fan of the red interiors. but im not that creative so i dont really have any suggestions either

you idea seems nice.

maybe the red will look out of place if there is no red on the rest of the vehicle?

heavy71chevy · 02-04-2009, 07:12 PM

id go with black and silver inside..break it up real cleanly

Andy4639 · 02-04-2009, 09:02 PM

I'll tell you know, don't do all RED. To much of it is ugly break it up with grey or whatever color you choose but just not all Red.
I liked the grey carpet but for a everyday driver it's hard to keep clean, that's why I went with Red this last time.

big_al_71 · 02-04-2009, 10:18 PM

I would go with black but that is my taste....

CG · 02-04-2009, 10:24 PM

dip that whole interior in red =) With all the silver metal thats going to be on the inside you wont have too much red. Im sure it will look great whatever you choose.

VA72C10 · 02-04-2009, 10:53 PM

I would vote for black as well...It's a clean look with the silver and white and also will match up well...One of my pet peeves with colored interiors is the carpet/dashpad/seats being slightly different shades.

**Tetdoeuf** · 02-04-2009, 11:10 PM

I really like silver with red interior, it has a very classic euro sports car feel.

67ChevyRedneck · 02-04-2009, 11:20 PM

I voted red

OARNGESI · 02-05-2009, 03:24 AM

I kinda think a dark green may look good but red will work

**special-K** · 02-05-2009, 10:04 AM

No question,Silver w/White top and Red interior.Red paint inside would set it off if it`s a custom.

MDC · 02-05-2009, 04:56 PM

Thanks Guys
Everyone keep voting. I'm open to all opinion's. Seems like Silver/Black is a pretty popular suggestion, post pics of what you have. I have several pics of White/Black but none with Silver/Black.

jasons · 02-05-2009, 05:02 PM

Red interior looks good with a silver body. It will give the truck a bold look that makes it stand out.

VA72C10 · 02-05-2009, 05:09 PM

Here's a few I have...not much but shows silver and black.
