The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Maroon Headliner?

The interior in my '51 3100 is currently black and I'm considering changing it over to maroon but haven't found a maroon headliner anywhere.

What color headliner (and visors) would a truck that originally came with maroon door panels and arm rests have?

...would it be the Pearl Beige headliner and visors? I'm guessing that matches the original interior paint color...


Anyone have pictures of an AD truck with the maroon interior and original color dash paint?

Anyone know where I might find a listing of the interior color combinations for '51? I've found all the AD exterior color combos in the restoration packs on oldcarmanualproject.com but nothing for the interiors.

...did they only come in pearl beige paint and black vinyl?

Got my answer from the Fonz (fonz8261) who has the maroon/pearl beige interior. The combo was in fact an option.

What was the RPO code?

He didn't say. ...I'll shoot him another email tomorrow morning.

I think fonz8261 has a 1948 Chevrolet truck?

All RPOs are usually listed in the Truck Data Book. I am away from home, but I will try to remember to check when I get home.

I did not know that Pearl Beige was an interior color in pre-54 standard cab trucks.

No matter what was RPO, use what you like.

Hopefully not a silly question but can't you just paint the headliner the color you want?

Since it is your truck--do whatever you want that puts a smile on your face! My research indicates that the proper headliner color for a '48 Chevy 1/2 ton (5 window deluxe) looks like this--see photo:

Yes, of course. Paint anything any color you want.

LUKE, yours looks real nice. Is that maroon and pearl beige, or brown and pearl beige, or ??

I recovered the seat and door panels in a maroon vinyl fabric--like it was originally...see this picture.

I'd love to get that info for my '51 ... I couldn't find it anywhere.

I was going to use the maroon/pearl beige combo cause I liked the maroon and there isn't a maroon headliner that I've found.
