Spent the last week standing on my head under the dash of my ’50, 3600. I had the instrument cluster, vacuum motor, wiper transmissions, defroster ducts & outlets, glove box, in other words, just about every thing under the dash out on the floor. All the wiring is in its original shape, except for the color of course. And that is what I want to address, the color. The cloth cover is now faded to a nice light Brown/Tan. Has anyone ever figured out what the “NAT” color was?? White? Cream? Or was it Light Brown/Tan. In the circuit diagrams I think that the “NAT” simply meant, natural although I’ve never heard a definitive answer.

Nat is "Natural", which is an undyed color. It was probably anywhere from an off-white to a light tan, depending upon the raw materials used.

Having gone through the same underdash-activities and my wife not being colourblind, I found through a search of the net that it is exactly as it says: natural is very light tan! carefull about the real tan colourcode! Good luck!

Evert, where on the net, did you find that information, I can't seem to find anything about cloth coverd wire, except vendors that want to sell you a complete loom.
