Question for trim guru's and SSTim - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I thought Tim would be most likely to know this one.My question is
"What colors did the body plugs come in?" The plastic ones that cover acess holes like for the bolts on barn doors and other stuff.I ask because most I've seen in bronze and sandalwood interiors are a kinda gold color.Did they use this color on all gold,bronze and sandalwood interiors?

I think I have a few examples of these. I'd have to go find them, but IIRC, the ones I took off a known 50th are gold, and the ones from my Panel-sandlewood-are lighter in color. I'll see if I can dig them out-I think I know where they all are.

I'm gonna have to stand corrected. They are the same, at least these two are. The ones from the 50th were so dirty the just looked darker. After a good cleaning it was obvious.
This is one that is still in my Panel:

These are one from my Panel and one from the 50th on two different backgrounds:

These both have the same number on the back, also: B-238.

Not sure where I might have that. It would seem that a fawn/gold color is the most likely. Try over in the Sub./Panel board, should be able to get some direct observations there. Sorry.

Dug up some pictures that look like original installations.

All of those look the same color.It's was one of those,hey I've seen lots of those and it deems like they're all the same color.I was just curious but I finally won.

I beat everyone at the "Stump Tim" on trivial facts game.I just figured you would know since you seem to have a great knowledge of these trucks down to minor details.

BTW Thanks,to both,for your answers.
