What color were the original door hinges painted on a '49 Chevy 1/2-ton? I'm guessing they would be painted the interior cab color (brown metallic), but maybe they were black - or not painted at all. Thanks!

they were black on my 53 Chevy. but a grey on my 53 parts truck. I couldn't swear either one is correct though. I went with black because I like the look and it's my truck and I'll paint it any way I want, so there.

Based on what I've seen, I believe the door hinges were installed and painted at the same time the cab interior was painted so they would be the same as the rest of the cab interior, i.e., PPG #31104.
