The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Cab interior colors for 53 1 ton

I can find all kinds of reference to outside colors but nothing on what the colors are inside the cab. Does anybody have a link or data on what I should paint the inside of my 1953 3808.
The outside is Juniper green, Thistle gray on the grill and anvil gray on the front bumper.

5253chevyman,

1953 Dupont Interior & Exterior colors.

Tim

5253chevyman, I restored a 53... 3100 and I have a 53 Chevy truck paint color chart from DuPont. They have...
Instrument Panel (all Models Except Suburban)...
DUCO Stock Order Number... 740
DUCO Code... 202-81407
Color... Sheen Gray Metallic

Now, when I was taking my 53 apart, that "Sheen Gray Metallic" showed up everywhere in the interior. So, I painted it as I found it, dash, seat frame, and all of the interior.

Thanks for the info guys. The steering column appears to be a different color than the rest of the cab but I think I'm going to do just like AD_Pickup and paint it all one color.

It is a different color. DuPont 8540 or PPG 27627. But I see very few restored trucks with this color on the steering wheel and column.

Thanks Brian. I will record this for future reference in case I change my mind on the one color option.
