Need help interpreting this GM information kit

This shows the interior colors that are recommended for each exterior color combo. The document does specify that the customer can special order any available interior color.

The chart shows hashed boxes and 'x' boxes on the chart. Which one denotes recommended? I had assumed the 'x' boxes are the recommended category, but I have a very plain-jane zy1 copper canyon truck with a burgundy interior(which I figured was very common), but I don't see an 'x' to go with that combo.

Does anyone else have stock paint/interior setups, and can compare theirs to one of these charts? Link here -- https://www.gm.com/heritage/archive/...formation-kits

Re: Need help interpreting this GM information kit

Your interpretation is correct.

Somebody got a truck built in a non-recommended color combination.

It's not a big deal; you could just pick the boxes on the order form. Usually someone in sales at Chevy Central Office would get back with you to make sure that's what you wanted but, after confirming, they would have no problem building it.

Re: Need help interpreting this GM information kit

I think the Mahogany looks the best. This maybe Gold though. I always got those 2 colors confused

I'm not necessarily rebuilding this truck in stock configuration; I was mostly just curious.

The truck was formerly a ZY1 Canyon Copper with Custom-Deluxe trim, and a Burgundy interior. My goal is to rebuild it as a ZY3 Canyon Copper and Midnight Black combo, with Scottsdale trim, and Mahogany interior.

Another question -- are there any good photos showing what the Custom-Deluxe, Scottsdale, and Silverado interiors looked like? I know there were differences in the seats, even within these trim levels, but I'm mostly curious about the door panels, dash pad, and instrument cluster differences. The photos in the GM information kits are very poor quality.

Re: Need help interpreting this GM information kit

Your best bet is to do a search for the old sales brochures. They are in color and either photos or artist's renderings.

Most of the differentiation in trim is in the seats, by virtue of cloth vs vinyl, rib patterns and textures.

The doors and cluster and instrument panel are pretty common; that is - Custom Deluxe and Scottsdale are the same (black) and Silverado has the brushed aluminum applique. Silverado door trim also gets you the pull strap, inset around the door handle area and map pocket lower front, and carpet at the bottom of the door.

Where did you find that one? I used to have access to the sales brochures, along with the information kits, through the old GMheritagecenter website. But since they've revamped the website, I haven't known where to go to get the sales brochures anymore.
