original air cleaner, steering column & Bendix brake booster sheen? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67-68 Non-Tilt Columns are interior color. Fawn in both cases on my '67 K/10 Suburban and '68 C/10 Stepside. Glossy black was a Tilt-only thing.
My '71 GMC Jimmy K/1500 was originally Copper exterior and Black trim inside, so its column [Non-Tilt, floor shift] is Black. But GMC did their own thing with interior schemes, just to contrast from Chevy.

On a lot of parts and structures, GM used a Satin Black [semi-gloss]. Air cleaners, battery trays, starters, P/S Pumps, fans, fender skirts, frames, etc.
Ford used a shiny full Gloss Black.
