Red truck red interior? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What do you think, too much red?

I see lots of trucks with interiors same color as the paint, but I don't think Ive ever seen a red truck with red interior.

I owned (most of) a red truck once for a brief time; it had a red interior. It didn't seem too much to me, but I never drove it, so I might not be a good judge.

I think that is one of the hottest looks on these trucks. And it's got the era-correct essence going for it. I've seen trucks done red on red and they look great. Shows the chrome well. I thought I had pictures saved, but found nothing. Jason, who worked with Jerry Brown, did a really sweet '67 short bed with custom red interior. One of the finest trucks I've ever seen done.

I only have this stock truck with red top to show

I’ve seen the red on red, it wasn’t too much, I don’t believe. The interior vinyl was a little darker than the painted so it helped offset.
Colors matches, as we know, are a personal preference thing for the most part. I like a “clean” look. Parchment or saddle vinyl on the body color paint, or the body color vinyl on a white painted interior has always caught my eye.

I have a 69 that was factory medium red with a white roof with a red interior. Although the red inside is almost a maroon/burgundy red, it looks sharp IMO.

My brother's 73 is red interior and blue paint.
I'd never ever, but it looks really good.

Those red interiors are the best. Nice trucks

**cericd** · 07-27-2022, 11:43 AM

Great looking combo! If my truck were red, red would be the only color I'd consider for the interior.

That is the coolest truck I have ever seen

**special-K** · 07-28-2022, 09:16 AM

Very nice trucks! I had bright red planned (including pieces gathered) for my '67. Just needed to get the buddy buckets covered and door panels made (both custom). Then I was offered a killer deal on buddy buckets done just the way I wanted mine done, only black. I'm going with black now

I’ve got a red (with silver trim) 1967 gauge cluster, in case anyone is interested…

The ladies hated the my burgundy interior/apple red exterior. I thought it was fine, but converted to black when I redid the truck.

I'm biased but I like a red interior.

Right, in the '69, '70 era, the interior red trim was a darker shade than the exterior red color. In the '67-'68 era, the interior red trim was a closer match to the exterior color. In the '71-'72 era, not sure, IMO, black was a more common interior color than red.

Theses pics are from a truck I archived on my computer years ago. I like the red/red combo.
