Has anyone got the real dope on what the correct Chevy interior colors were with Standard and Custom trim levels in '66?

i think its a tan/pewter color when i did my 65 i used a color i thought was close it came out great i think custom cab had a glovebox cover,a deluxe seat,not sure if they all had a guage package,possibly different knobs.Of course the custom cab trimpiece behind the door on the exterior,this would give the trim package outside.One could get the crome package without custom cab package also.Would be neet to know the exact color,though.Oh yea, 2-tone door panels and a armrest?!

The color was called light fawn metallic and most of the trucks came in the tan combo for most of the run. In the early years they was a Silver fawn metallic for the GMC which ran that color for the 60-66 years. Jollly's site www.6066gmcguy.com has the info.

The real dope is contained in the Chevy restoration package obtained from Chevrolet directly. You can find this info here.
http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/GMRestoPak.htm

There are many local jobbers who can create a spray can of paint for you in any color you like. But for interior paint, you can look in an obscure place, like the inside of your glovebox, or behind the ashtray knob or behind the door handle. Then with their handy-dandy paint matching machine, they will take a "picture" of your original paint sample and match it. It's about $14 bucks for a can of spray paint in my neck of the woods. Any of the old school parts shops with a paint department can get a can of automotive enamel mixed up for you. Go on, give it a shot!
