For example, I had a red 72 Cheyenne without tilt when it was about 10 yrs old - column and wheel were black from the factory from what I could tell.

Sooooo... while I think ALL tilts columns (and their wheels) were black, I was under the impression (maybe incorrectly) that Red, Black, White, & Orange trucks had black columns and wheels, even non-tilts. Also thought that Ochre & Lt Yellow were always saddle (if Saddle interior selected). So, I am still confused a bit...

But having said that - I would think that YOUR dark olive truck would have come with dark olive wheel and column if not tilt from the factory. Now, who knows what they might have decided to do on the assembly line, anything is possible.

Nice truck by the way!

I think you've got it right. But it could also be because a lot of those color trucks were ordered with parchment interior. Ive never seen a white column/steering wheel. My med red/white Super with parchment interior came with non-tilt in black with black wheel. Also the perimeter of the glove box door is black instead of body color.
