Odd Ext/Int Color Combos

We know you could put any interior with ant paint color, yet most trucks we see have combinations that you'd expect. Kind of like people dressing. There are plaid pants and plaid shirts, but how often do you see someone wearing both? Other than on skid row that is :lol:
My friend has this '69 with Medium Gold Poly paint and a Bright Red interior. Maybe the original owner was a 49ers fan |

When I worked at GM Oshawa,the end of year stuff that did not get used in the 70s went to scrap also,I remember one of the old guys told me he had to take a load of muncie transmissions to the scrap yard and take a sledge hammer and bust all the ears of the transmissions.

My 70 C-10 built in 11-69 came with standard Blue interior with Red/orange exterior and interior paint. Basic truck, No AC, PS, PB, radio, Cig lighter, 3 on the tree, rubbermat, 307-2bbl. Only came across 1 with the same combo.

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
Great examples so far. You guys are crossing up dealer and factory. Some dealers may have been foolish enough to destroy stock, but obviously not all. I seriously doubt that Chevy would throw together oddballs at the end of the year to get rid of parts. 1- Car makers are required by law to carry replacement parts a minimum of ten years beyond model year. 2- At the end of model year it's about liquidating stock and putting out oddball stuff would be totally contrary to that. I guess if they all have end of the line serial numbers it could be true.
Imagine a Medium Gold Poly truck with Olive or Blue |
Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
a few years ago i bought a nice original 69 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive big block gmc from Jeff's bowties.It was medium gold with green interior..I think Jeff had acquired a longhorn in those same colors also.

I usually think odd is colors that clash and shouldn’t be together
What about no contrast ! White on white in a truck doesn’t make much sense ? |

Production parts have three stock disposition choices when making a change for the coming model year: a) Use b) Rework c) Scrap "Use" means the part can be carried over as is. "Rework" typically would be the drilling of a hole, or maybe a software update in a radio or module. The subject parts would be pulled, quarantined and reworked either at the assembly plant or by the supplier (depending on the complexity). Reworked parts would be updated by a new part number, or by the addition of a paint dot or adhesive sticker, as authorized by the Temporary Work Order. Parts that had been reworked three or four or five times could get a bit confused. "Scrap" parts are parts that cannot be used in the new model year because the don't match the new marketing intent (like an obsolete emblem or appearance item) or do not meet a new regulatory requirement. Those parts are pulled, red tagged and quarantined until somebody can get over there to bust them up with a sledgehammer or drill holes in them. K |

Re: Odd Ext/Int Color Combos
I ordered my truck with a red exterior and a "red" interior.
Turns out the "red" interior was more of a burgundy color. The ladies in my family hated it. I got so much grief from them over the years that when I redid the truck I went with a black interior.
