I agree entirely. in fact that has been kind of the hinge point of my little debate. parchment would go with the green so well. like an idiot i passed on a set of really nice OE parchment door panels a while back because for that week i had convinced myself it would show dirt to much. right now i am trying to figure out what colors i will use on the seats. i really like the black with black and white houndstooth. i just dont thing the rest of the interior will look good with black. in all honesty, i think parchment is the color i will go with. but as you said, the truck is supposed to be usable and i am worried about the dirt.

i havent looked into the green to much. i really doubt that i go with a monochrome interior. i like it for the body color, but i think it might be to much for me inside if the seats and everything are green. i have an extra nice black steering column and the original green column. the green door panels are usable but i need a dash pad and the seat have to get recovered anyhow. given that i need to replace several parts anyhow it gives me a nice reason to church it up a little inside. matching the SPID went out the window a long time ago, but i still want the interior to look mostly OE at a glance. and i find the OE buckets rather comfy anyhow. i did finally get the brackets in the cab the other day, had a panic session when i realized i had hidden that box of brackets you sent from myself! luckily it was an easy find!
