My '54 3100 has a Chevolet logo indented into the center of the dash. I am curious if the logo should be the same color as the dash, or were they originally painted or decaled in a contrasting color?

They were painted. I believe standard cab color lettering was white. In the two tone cabs, they were the lighter color. My webshots shows mine in the light blue. The factory job looked like a bad stenciling job. Look at Tim's site for more pics also.

3100,

No decals seem to be available. It was originally painted bright white (most likely semigloss) on all cabs except two-tone interior cabs (as Greg described).

Here\'s a photo.

3100.....When i first got my panel it too looked like a bad stenciling job,,just as Greg_H described. Its since been painted over and i think thats how its gonna stay until i find a pinstriper guy that'll do it up right for me.
As far as i know,,,theres no decals or stick-on letters for those.

The logo is different on the 54 / 55 1st Series than it was on previous models. I ordered a decal for a 47-53 but it was not the same.

Since my hand is not steady enough to paint the logo, I was thinking about putting a piece of white paper over my dash and running a pencil over it to create an impression of the logo. Hopefully one of the local sign shops could then scan that paper and create a decal. Anyone know if that is possible?

I think you could take the truck to the sign shop. Let them make the decal but if you want, use the negative of it as a stencil to paint letters on.
