What is the original color for the '54-'55 GMC control knobs? The few available from the repro houses are a light grey, but my one surviving original (the brake release, away from sun fading) is a cream/beige color. Is this just another case of the repop guys selling inaccurate parts, or has my brake release knob just turned a strange color after 50 years?
An additional question - what color were the '54-'55 GMC gauge panels? Mine were painted dark green to match the outside of the truck many years ago, but that paint is flaking. Under it is a dark brown/chocolate/bronze metallic color. Quite attractive, actually. Was that the original color? What is it called?
My truck isn't going to be stock, but I like the look of a lot of the stock parts, so I'm trying to stay with that theme. This is going to be a 'rodstoration,' no digital gauges or car suspension here, thank you very much!
