interior color for a black truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

WOW. I NEVER would have guessed black/saddle looked so good. That looks incredible. (But I'd still opt for red...

)

When these trucks were ordered from the factory, you could mix/match to your hearts content. If you wanted a red exterior with a green interior...you could do it.

But, I also agree that black exterior with red interior is hard to beat and was my personal plan. The issue becomes one about the color of the metal on the interior. If the upholstery is red, what color is the metal supposed to be? I have a friend who is the original purchaser of a '67 that is silver/white with a red interior. All of his interior metal is red. Later models had the metal painted body color. Both look good.

Ya, I was pretty blown away by that color combo when I saw it. It just looked classy to me.... I love black/red as well. Can't really go wrong there.

A pic I saved a couple of years ago. I do not know who it belongs to but I think tan looks good with black too. This obviously a later model pattern, seat and door panels. Just for a look at the color for you.

Dug up a picture of a blue interior in a black truck. Saddle and brown are pretty much interchangeable, but I would try to get the seat covers and vinyl covered door panels from the same vendor. If you have a question about a color get samples!

Black exterior with saddle interior is very nice, but my top vote would have to be red.
