Strange factory interior color combo, or not?
Maybe I should have asked if this is an unusual or rare color combination. Anyways here are some before shots of my '68 GMC's cab and I was wondering if anyone has seen one of these trucks come from the factory, red exterior with a metallic blue interior?
I'm getting ready to re-do the interior, and I think I'm going to keep these weird colors. |

Re: Strange factory interior color combo, or not?
I guess theoretically anything could have been ordered from the factory. Rare, indubitably.

Re: Strange factory interior color combo, or not?
Check the SPID to see if it matches the truck.It may have had an interior swapped from another truck.Though I agree any color combo is possible.I've seen a Hugger Orange truck with an Oxblood(maroon) interior,even was listed that way on the SPID.

I like the custom seat cover.

Re: Strange factory interior color combo, or not?
I bet that was a color option, but you never quite know.
BTW, you going to make it to the All Truck Nat's this weekend in KC?

Re: Strange factory interior color combo, or not?
John, I've seen several Fire Dept. rigs with that combo. even seen a few burbs with the red exterior/blue or green or fill in the blank interior scheme.
I'd definitely check the spid or see if there's a build sheet hiding somewhere (unlikey, but worth a shot).

Re: Strange factory interior color combo, or not?
A few years ago a buddy had a 68 GMC 3/4 ton with pastel yellow paint and seafoam green interior, it was a low miler 100% original truck with color combo listed on SPID. I can't remember the name or code of the paint but have not seen another with the same color. The side trim and hubcaps even had seafoam green detail. And being a GMC the bezel and glove box door were green as well as the column and steering wheel.

Re: Strange factory interior color combo, or not?
Makes me think that was out in service as a old brush truck. The color of the interior I can live with but that seat is almost been used up and at the next oil change will require just a bit of TLC.

Re: Strange factory interior color combo, or not?
I got the truck from the original owner, he gave it to me for free, but I had to haul it out of his orange grove. Fortunately the old girl fired right up after 5-plus years without running. The gas stinks even with 10 gallons of fresh I've added since I first got the truck.
Here's a shot of the glove box minus the info tag I need. The owner had a carpet business in Riverside and drove it into LA everyday to haul carpet. I wish I could find some NOS aqua blue shag like he had loosely laid in the cab. I've got to get back outside and pull the seat, I hope the build sheet is still there. Thanks an awful lot for the input. |

Re: Strange factory interior color combo, or not?
The tach looks really interesting from where I stand, can you give us a closer picture of it?
That color looks just like the interior of my burb - Aqua green. You can get all the OEM correct color vinyl, fabric, and carpet from: www.smsautofabrics.com I got all my stuff from them.
