New Project 71 K10 Stepside; couple of questions

Hi, all!

Just picked up this 71 stepside for me and my oldest son to fix up this winter.



















The plan is to return it cosmetically back to stock, or close to it. A previous owner cut out the dash and doors for a stereo, and the seat, column, mirrors, AC and rear bumper are long gone.

Other than that it's a great driver. Bran new motor, even.

It's been a while, but I've owned about 5 67-72 4x4's, most notably a couple of GMC Jimmys that I was quite fond of.

Anyway, to my first questions so I can start gathering up parts:

It was not a highly optioned interior, (It has the flat metal door panels) can I assume it was the smooth bench seat and rubber floor mats? I'd like it if it were the scrolled seats or buckets with a console, but if it didn't come that way I might keep it stock. Probably depends on what I find. The Parchment color might make it tricky.

The dash pad is a kind of maybe olive green or dark grey (it's hard to tell), as are the defroster vents. Would this be stock? The top of the dash itself is painted, too, but there is the red color underneath making me think the olive was added at a later time. And would the column and steering wheel match the dash pad? Any pics you might be able to share with me of what a plain parchment trim looks like would be very helpful. My search fu seems to be weak.

What exterior mirrors would have come on this? There's more holes in the doors that there should be, but maybe it had the small chrome rectangular ones?

The vertical trim of the wing window is all oxidized. Would this have been painted black?

Thanks in advance for any help. I live in a pretty small town and I don't get to see too many examples of different configurations.. And if you know of any donor trucks in the Central Rockies that I should know about please let me know.
