Some 10 years ago or so, Tim Sheridan had a website, now inactive, that had a wealth of information about restoring his ‘46 Chevy 1/2 ton. Luckily I made a copy of some of his contributions for my reference. One photo with a caption he wrote states: “Original brown seat cover, black floor matting. Note seat riser and firewall (not shown) was body color. Steering column in ‘46 was brown. Hand brake and shift column was mat black”.
I believe the firewall statement above referred to both sides inside the cab and engine bay. I opted to paint Sparky the hammer tone color inside the cab firewall as shown in the attached photo.
The transition between body color and floor board metal is at the door threshold. Note too the running board step plate is incorrect for ‘46 models.
