I'm not concerned with the actual colors, just want to know what areas got taped off for a two-tone paint job. My research only has the top of the dash, door panel inserts and the steering wheel/column as being painted a different color. Did any of the floor, steps or riser get two-toned?

There is a wealth of information, including interior paint scheme. http://www.59apache.com/index.htmlThat's a great document and when looking at the interior colors there I see where the steps and riser are painted Charcoal when the doorposts are Silver-beige. Is that the way Chevrolet did it in '59? For a production truck that seems like a lot of extra work to keep the different colors all separated. Does anyone have factory pictures of it being done like that?

Lugo Restoration did a spectacular finish on the interior details. I can post the pics in the gallery section or in this thread. Let me know what specifics you need. | | |
