It looks like it was professionally painted as the outside is near perfect. I will have to do some deeper forensics with the glove box and the bezel to find out for sure. Also the instrument bezel would have to have been painted or replaced with a black bezel. Perhaps by removing it, I could see the backside and it may reveal the fawn as well. Thanks for this theory, I will certainly have a better look when I get some time.
The truck posted in #397 brought you back to mind. Did you ever get a chance to look into the suspected fawn glovebox door on your truck and dash bezel?

Be interested in nailing this down as original trucks continue to support the fawn door & bezel being correct for highlander plaid optioned GMCs.
