Interior pic request - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I scored a tilt column from Mikes71 tonight, (plus he took the wife and I out for dinner) and I would like to see pics of all blue interiors with a tilt column. I'm not sure if the black column will look out of place or not with the entire interior being blue. Thanks.

This is kind of on topic, and not.......My truck is yellow, with all yellow interior and yellow steering column. No tilt column though. Just to give you an idea(substitute yellow with blue), here's the best pic I could find. Hope it helps your decision.

It should not look too out of place because all tilts were originally black with black wheel also.

Here are a couple of my trucks with blue interior. I think if it is a blue painted cab it matches up ok . The silver painted cab maybe I should have repainted the column. I put a blue wheel on it and that helps hide the black column alittle

I'd say if the steering wheel is blue, blue column.

If the steering wheel is black, black column.

Just an FYI but it is my understanding that all tilt columns were black with black steering wheels.

I believe that is true, however, that doesn't mean another color wheel and paint couldn't be put on

I'm thinking of painting mine blue with a grant steering wheel.

I agree with you and its yours so you can do what you want with it.

I think that combo would look very nice.

My main thing was I wanted to keep the column the factory black and change my blue wheel out for a black one, and I was afraid the black column/wheel would stick out. After seeing the pics I think I'll be o.k. with it. I plan on dying or recovering my old wheel or getting a three spoke comfort grip Vette wheel.

68shortfleet · 11-17-2006, 12:54 AM

Manning, what steering wheel is that you are running?? is that a vette wheel? What diameter is it?
I like it

I have a 71 with blue interior and I also just scored a tilt column and was wondering the same as you whether or not to paint the column blue. Now that I've seen some pics and also now knowing that it would have been black from the factory then I'm leaving mine black. Great post!!

1lowdiesel · 11-17-2006, 03:47 PM

IT'S not perfect but it's blue and 100% stock

1LoC10 · 11-17-2006, 04:17 PM

yellow is the oposite of blue, just invert it and your good to go...lol

Ah.......the olds starfire wheel. Make sure when you get the 3 spoke, you get the early 67 hub, it will fit much nicer than the 69-up. It will be flush with the column, unlike the later hubs
