Heres a few pictures from my 1962 C10 Shortbed with 14,000 miles.You can see the hood hinges were silver cadmium plated like the bolts under the hood. The hood springs were dark grey/black phosphate. The dash knobs on his truck I would say are all wrong in that they are actually for a Custom cab truck. "T" Throttles are on the RH side of the column. It does also show this as only 60-62 and a picture in the Chevrolet parts books.I think they look great but feel they originally were all black. Many of the "Dealer installed radios" came in kits and all seem to have the deluxe knobs, it may be such that he was just trying to be consistent/matching all the way across the dash ? Either way seeing this truck done right is nice to see. Not many people go to the lengths he did to make them look like they should.
