Interior paint
I've had a few of these trucks in the past. But when I got them they were already faded and rusty . My question is did they come from the factory with a different sheen on the interior paint ? I'm thinking it wasn't as shiny as the exterior. What do you think?

Re: Interior paint
I'm curious about this too. Sure seems like less gloss in the cab. I know the part behind the dash pad was almost matte so it doesn't shine up on the windshield

Re: Interior paint
The dash top was a matte finish and gloss the rest

Re: Interior paint
Mine has always been what looks like gloss to me (except the top). I even used to wax the interior and no wax residue was left to dull the paint. My dash paint is still original as is the pad.

I never get tired of looking at pictures of your truck. It is sweet

I only had the camper (see my avatar) on the truck when we were camping. The truck was used as our second vehicle and garaged until 1975 when I decided we needed to add a Corvette as a toy. The truck was then kept outside until 1988 when we added a 30'X30' garage. It was stored in the garage until 2010 when I started the resto. Of course, it's still kept in that garage, but I don't consider it "stored" now. The truck has been in Wisconsin since we moved from California in late 1971. The sun is a lot more forgiving in Wisconsin than most states. I attribute the survival of the dash pad, which is still very pliable, to Armor All which I started using when I discovered it in the 70s. This is what the truck looked like in 2010 before the resto. Guess that makes it a survivor. SORRY FOR TAKING US OFF TOPIC!

Re: Interior paint
Both were different. There were exterior colors and interior colors for each year of mfg.
