Not at all, yeah I don't see any gold - just sandalwood and parchment. BUT, if you looked at my Parchment 71' Deluxe interior - you'd actually see gold flake on the bench seat fabric inserts (or what's left of the flake).

I have a 72 with parchment interior and these two colors are not even close

litew8 · 03-23-2014, 07:02 PM

So you are saying that is not sandalwood or parchment?

Steve, I dont think there is a sticker on the drivers side. Ill get some more pics soon

NO HURRY, I'm just glad to know there are more of these around.

Every engine I've seen so far that still has one of these stickers on it, does NOT have any remains on the drivers side . . . I'm almost sure now, that since that sticker didn't fit between the oil fill and PCV hose, they just didn't bother at the factory.

I'm working on reproducing some of these stickers and a clear picture added to my collection of the few that I've seen on here will help !!!

T H A N K S !!!!

Correct. It's neither one of those colors

litew8 · 03-23-2014, 07:11 PM

Here's my sandalwood steering column/dash pad next to yours.
Your steering wheel / column sure looks like sandalwood - the one color nobody reproduces.

Your parchement door vinyl does look like a cream color, but not so much the seat - but I can see it a little now.

Gold flake on my fabric inserts for the bench seat:

Didn't mean to hijack your thread, just interested in the colors

**Joesjunk** · 03-23-2014, 07:38 PM

No worries. It's always interesting to learn about these trucks. That is the same seat I have in my 72 custom deluxe

Well then, here's another GOLD 70 Chevy that I've saved - if it helps.

. . . .

litew8 · 03-23-2014, 07:48 PM

That's the seat I have! Maybe it wasn't original to my truck.

Found a good thread that has discussed the Gold/Parchment Sandalwood.

Parchment armrest on top, Gold on bottom:

Yep, noticed it too. This is the elusive and correct 1970 350 engine decal that nobody repops.

Spartan · 03-23-2014, 09:36 PM

Sticker is on what year engines.
These survivor truck are such a value for correct restos.
1970 only? Or 1969 too?
Edit:never mind I get it now.

. . . .

With all of MY research ( and there's been A LOT of it !!! ) I've come to the concussion that they were 70 and 71 only and ONLY on the passenger's side.

**Joesjunk** · 03-24-2014, 10:39 PM

I dug the build sheet out of the seat springs today. Notice it lists the interior color as sandalwood, but gold on the spid.

**Joesjunk** · 03-24-2014, 10:41 PM

More

**Joesjunk** · 03-24-2014, 10:42 PM

Close up

litew8 · 03-25-2014, 01:49 AM

That's wicked.

Great insight. My 71 SPID only mentions 'Parchment' trim, yet I've got the 'Gold Custom Cloth Trim' (seat) like that 70 Chevy Steve posted.

Steve Hafner · 03-27-2014, 07:21 PM

. . . .

Too cool to let it get forgotten . . .

Waiting to see close up pictures of the valve covers ( when you have time )

The "gold" looking pattern in the "custom deluxe" seat looks correct for the 71-72 parchment interior. Here is my original 72 parchment seat

Here ya go

**Joesjunk** · 03-27-2014, 09:17 PM

I put about 60 miles on it Tuesday without any issues. I got the front hub caps today, and my rear caps should be here Saturday.

**lolife99** · 03-27-2014, 09:20 PM

Joe is this truck getting a set of 15x8 steel wheels or just keeping the original steelies?

Keith, the original wheels were just powder coated last month and the tires are brand new, so I'm just sticking with these. I do think I'm going to flip the white letters around though. I think the black walls will look better
