From what I know the top of the dash was basically painted to match the dash pad but in flat paint; green pad with green dash as in the case of my K10. The defrost vents were also color coded to the top of the dash. GM painted the dash in (most? all?) orange trucks black and I believe some other interiors received a black dash as well if the dash pad was black. The black glovebox door in this truck is a bit of an odd ball but other similar examples are known and this phenomenon has been discussed here on the board - many orange super trucks got an orange GB door. I like the contrast of a black door.

BTW - I was in Pagosa Springs this weekend: the thermometer on the way up the mountain in the morning read -13!
