1972 Interior color

[Sprint63]

Does anyone with an original dark blue color truck have pictures of the interior? I know that there are a lot of the light blue color but I can't find any of the original dark blue truck interior.

Mine is more of a sky blue not baby blue if it helps

The dark blue interior was only in '69.

Thank you everyone for the replies. Jocko, is the dash pad and door cards light blue? I haven't seen any aftermarket dark blue dash pads or door cards but wasn't sure if anyone made them or if the light blue was original for a truck with dark blue paint.

Here is a dark blue dash so I imagine others are available.
You may be fighting the same dilemma as I. I have an original 72 with med blue exterior and all light/med blue interior. I'm having a hard time with all the light/med blue.
I have thought about going to the dark blue exterior and a darker blue interior.

I think the door panels and dash that you could get in 72 were all the same shade of blue, i.e. no light/med/dark - just "blue" - but I'm not gonna swear on it. I think the dark blue dash pad in the link that Red posted would be more for the DARK blue that Tim referenced in 69 (which I believe was available 67-70, and in earlier body styles).

This thread is confusing because of how you worded the first sentence. I read it to be asking for anyone that has an original dark blue "paint" color truck to show pictures of their interior, with no interior color specified. Reading the second sentence give an indication you might be looking for interior color.

If you have a '72, there was only one shade of blue interior offered. And shade varied between the different materials. The molded door panels are different from the seat. The only color I consider dark blue is the '69-only blue that I would call Navy Blue. How about some more information on your truck or exactly which parts of the interior you are wanting to see. I think I have a picture of my '72 when it had the original blue interior. The steering wheel is a replacement and a tad darker than original.
