Best interior color to go with gold exterior?
« on: March 14, 2009, 12:35:56 pm »


This is the color I want my truck when its done. I'm thinking tan(dash pad, seat, moldings, headliner, ect) with the gold metal interior.  Would this look good or will it be ugly as crap? I'm having a hard time picturing it. Thanks Andy

I'm really thinking tan. Black would look good but it's going to be covered in dust pretty quick since this truck will be out in the field alot when its done. it'll be my hay mover/hauler. anybody have an pics what it might look like? Thanks guys, Andy

Many of those trucks came with Tan interior. But that pic you posted doesn't look gold to me.

My 2000 crew is called pewter I think. It looks like that and it has light gray interior.

Only thing i have close to that color is my 08. Its called Silverbirch, but has a gold tint to it. It has the dark charcoal interior. I can get pick of it if you want, but it wont be the same as you interior.

Heres the tan interior of my tan truck

I had a 93 Cutlass that was a tanish, goldish color called driftwood.  I had a red interior in it that I thought looked good.  My $.02

YES! 78 Chevyrado and Choptop! That is the look I'm looking for! That is beautiful! Exact exterior color as well Chevyrado! Thank you! I'm not going to have as many bells and whistles as your trucks though in the interior. I'm switching back to manual windows and going to have a standard bench seat. Thanks alot, Andy
