interior always a tan color???
 

So my truck is a 62 and is light blue on the outside but tan on the inside. I have noticed that almost all of these trucks no matter what color they are on the outside they are almost always painted that tan color on the inside. Any one have any info on this?
Thanks

Fawn was the factory color. You will find some 60-61 is a silverfish color also

IF you want to get official colors exterior and interior go to www.autocolorlibrary.com you will find them there with codes (Ditzler paint) which is now PPG Kieth

Where was the silver one built?

The 65 cab that was silver was the factory air truck I just sold and I believe it was a freemont truck also.

My 61 silver cab was built in St. Louis. My 63 is fawn and is a Baltimore truck

Fremont wasn't built in 1960.

Re: interior always a tan color???
 

What was the CA plant in 60 then? I was told it was made in CA and never left. I always assumed it was Fremont.

My interior had the fawn tan like color, and one of the rims was the same color. My buck and a 1/2.:chevy:

It would have been the Oakland plant. Both my 59 and 60 were built there. The plant was located at the corner of 73rd Ave and Foothill Blvd and was in operation from 1917 to 1963 I believe. The location was turned into the Eastmont Mall later and now it's located within the Oakland "killing zone" where there are 100+ homicides a year. My how times change!!

curious about the silver 65...
I was under the impression that all 60-61 were silver with the charcoal dash, then 62-65 were fawn (tan) with the tan dash, and the 66 was fawn with the brown dash. chev and gmc.

from everything I've seen & read on here, that's my understanding as well....hmmmm

It's totally anecdotal, but when I was a teenager I had a 65 that also had a silver interior, it appeared original and wasn't fawn underneath when it was sanded down.
