The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop question about interior colors, 1953

I have collected paint codes for interior colors from various sites, and still have a couple of questions:
1. The steering wheel, and gearshift column are apparently a different color than the remainder of the interior, but it doesn't specifically mention the steering column. So, was the steering column the same as the steering wheel, or was it the same as the remainder of the interior?

2. Other than the steering wheel, steering column, and gearshift column, is the entire remainder of the interior the same color? That's the way it appears from what I've read, but I havent read that specifically.

I'm not trying to make this truck 100% correct, and I'm not trying to be a perfectionist. It's just that, in my opinion, it's just as easy, and usually just as cheap, to paint things the right color as it is to paint them the wrong color. Especially if you already have bought the paint.

Steering wheel, shift lever, and steering mast are all one color which is different than the rest of the interior.

This may have no connection to your 1953 Mike, but as near as I could tell in our 1956 was that the steering column, gear shift/parking brake were the same slate color as the floor. This is how I painted them. I honestly don't know if it is wrong, but it is very close in any event. The turn signal switch assembly was black.

Hope this helps,

Steve
