First item that will need to go into the interior is the dash pad. This is where it comes to stand still until I get this color item figured out. the pad on the left that is Dark Blue came out of my 69 K10. The pad on the right is one I purchased from Truck and Car shop (Medium Blue). The pad on top is the pad that was removed from the this truck.

So I remembered that I had a can of Medium Blue dye from OER that I had used on the FIXRUPR build. I took the old piece of pad from the truck and cleaned it up with wax and grease remover. Then did a few coats of Adhesion Promoter and then sprayed a couple of coats of dye for comparison.

After spraying the Medium Blue I am at a lost for the correct color for the pad. The light pad is not the right one and the Dark Blue pad is way to dark and the tone is not close. So I thought I would pull off one of the visors and compare. The sprayed upper section portion of the pad is a pretty good match to the visors. But it is obvious that that is not what the color was originally in the truck. Possibly I will try another color from SEM or OER and do another spray out.

In the mean time I will be putting the heater controls back together and marching forward on items on the list, especially getting the bed bolts off so I can slide back the bed to repair the passenger cab corner.
