Denny,
Unfortunately that is not my truck, although I took a lot of pictures of the truck to use as I finish mine.

For my truck I am using the PPG 27467 paint for the interior and the Jim Carter paint for the steering wheel, mast and shift lever. As they are painted I will post pictures - probably a month away.

The radio grill on my 1953 is all one color, it is not two different shades as Denny describes. My 1953 did not use the stainless/chrome upper and lower bars on the radio grill, rather it was all painted, along with a painted glove box door. The pull handle on the ash tray is maroon plastic not chrome. The letters for CHEVROLET on the top bar are painted white/off white - I am not sure which, I suspect white that yellowed with time. So even though I like the look of the bright work I will be doing my radio grill and glovebox door painted the interior color as original.

I picked up a second 53 radio grill from a radio delete truck and there was a black fiberboard behind the grill, my truck will have a radio, so I am going to use the fiberboard as a template to cut some screen material which I will spray black to use in the speaker grill.

Regards,
Mike
