Re: Pics of Gray interior

Are gray and charcoal considered the same color when it comes to chevy interiors? Is there a light gray that was only available in burbs and blazers? I've come accross 4 factory tachs in trucks and never a gray interior, is gray really rare? Your dash pad and door pannels look like the color I'm trying to match. LMC lists both a gray and light gray for headliners.

Neither of these pics are mine. Just some I took off the internet. I may be wrong about this and someone may chime in about it. As far as I know the charcoal/dark gray interiors were in the truck. The lighter gray interiors came out in the suburbans and blazers. I personally think the darker gray interiors are harder to come by since I have been looking in salvage yards for some time for pieces. If I have to paint match pieces then I will probably use SEM's paint products.

The second pic I posted I do believe the door panels and dash are aftermarket pieces. They don't always match what the factory came out with. The seat is a Tea's custom seat.

No - charcoal often is dark enough to be called black.

Re: Pics of Gray interior

Here is a picture of my dads truck, I always assumed this was charcoal and though gray was the light gray in burbs/blazers. If there was a gray for pickups and light gray only available in burbs/blaz I'm looking for paint to match the light gray. Someone has to have converted a pickup int. to light gray.

Re: Pics of Gray interior

for the 81-88s there was: Medium Gray and Charcoal (looks black to most people)
for 89-91 there was Light Gray (I believe Medium gray was discontinued, not sure about charcoal)

Also I see quite a few medium duty trucks with charcoal interiors and the door panels will interchange.

just my .02
