Parchment Interior Pix
If you guys have some, I'd like to see some pics of parchment interiors. That was what mine came with and I'm thinking of going back to it when I reupholster. What color steering wheel came with the parchment interior? Also, does anyone know if the base model 71 GMC would have come with the vinyl door panels or if they came with metal ones?

Re: Parchment Interior Pix
I'm fairly new to the forum but check out the interior pics in my thread below. My truck is Medium Green (looks like yours is too) with Parchment interior. Still says "MED GREEN" "PARCHMENT" on the firewall.

Re: Parchment Interior Pix
steering wheel would be either tan, or black. Depends on the color of the steering column and dash pad. It could go either way.

Re: Parchment Interior Pix
Seat is all vinyl as it appears today. I'm certain it has been recovered at some point (most likely in 1988), so I cannot be for sure what it looked like when my grandfather picked it up in '72.

Re: Parchment Interior Pix
This interior is pretty correct. We did not have a good sandalwood steering wheel so we painted the column plack to match the wheel.
befor and after clean up.

Re: Parchment Interior Pix
sameyrasmea72,... Did you dye that dash pad or is another original?
My '70 stepside has what the SPID calls a "gold" interior. It seems a little darker than parchment. I'm trying to duplicate the original "gold" dashpad color. Any ideas? Or is parchment the same color?

As far as the gold you are talking about, that is another color I think. We have sold some nice originals gold ones in the past. I think we have a gold one in a 70 camper that I will show/offer to you when we get it out......Jason

Re: Parchment Interior Pix
gold isn't the same, my longhorn used to have the gold, but it's all gone now... didn't care for it one bit.

Thanks. Sorry for the "parchment" hijack. I thought maybe it was the same color,... just named different in the '70 moel trucks. Thanks for all the replies.

Re: Parchment Interior Pix
There are at least 2 different parchment colors. The 71/72 parchment is a much lighter color than the 70; I found this out the hard way.
My 71 had parchment (off-white) doors/seat/visors and "Sandalwood" column/wheel/dash pad covering/floor. The sandalwood is a medium beige color; I once found someone selling a repop dash pad in sandalwood, but have not found any of the other parts. Eventually I gave up on sandalwood and used saddle, which is a darker brown. To my eye the parchment/saddle looks quite good, even though it is not correct.

Re: Parchment Interior Pix
Here's mine when I started to replace the blue stuff. I painted the door panels to match the sun visors, headliner and seatbelts I have - they came out spot on perfect color match. I've only done the door panels to date. I am thinking about putting the chrome "trim" on the door panels as well ( I have some but haven't poked the holes in the door panels yet).

Re: Parchment Interior Pix
Here is mine. I have some deluxe door panels to put in, but they need painting. LuvLegs, what paint did you use?

Re: Parchment Interior Pix
I haven't see ONE original steering wheel, no matter what the color, from 69-72 that isn't a mess of cracks and breaks. You can buy remanufactured, if you dont mind steering your truck with a chinese wheel. Not for me.

I think the Parchment / Sandalwood interior combo is a great look with the medium olive paint. My granddad had excellent taste...

It is a spot on perfect, exact color match to all the nice original stuff I've piled up.
