Pic Request: Dark Blue [Code 523] Trucks and Interiors
I will be painting my blazer project back to the original 523 Dark Blue shade and I am wondering what color I wanted to do the interior - not sure I want to go with blue yet (I was throwing around the idea of black).
I would like to see pix of the 523 Dark Blue trucks/blazers/etc. that have this color on it - and a shot of the interior if you have one/two. Thanks. |

Medium Blue, w/ bright blue interior. That's that only shade of blue interior color that I am aware of for the 71-72's. 69' had a Navy Blue.

That would be great - Thanks.
Was the only option on Dark Blue trucks the [light or dark] blue interior? |

Re: Pic Request: Dark Blue [Code 523] Trucks and Interiors
Bright Blue, 1st pic, is the only shade of blue that you could get in 71-72 as far as I am aware of. In 1969, you could get a Navy blue type of vinyl, but I believe it was only 69' for that color. Trevor

Here are some pics of my interior, and the stake pocket covers I purchased from Mar-K. I painted them, and the door panels, speaker kick panels, visors, and the headliner with Plasti-Kote, 513 dark blue vinyl paint. It is pretty close to an exact match to factory dark blue, code 523. Although intended for vinyl, it has stood up to the elements on the steel stake pocket covers. The only wear is on the arm rests because of daily driver use.

Re: Pic Request: Dark Blue [Code 523] Trucks and Interiors
stake pocket covers.
I also painted face plate on my aftermarket stereo to blend in with the dash. Although this is not the factory correct color for the interior pieces, I feel it looks better with the dark blue trucks. The correct bright blue interior looks the best IMO with the factory med blue paint, as in Trevor's example.

Thanks for the pix everybody.
I wanted to see what my options were - I like the blended look with the plasti-kote. |
