Okay...one of you OE specialists..
I haven't spent that much time around '60-'66 Chev's...I'm more checked out on the GMC's.
So I have a couple silly questions...maybe one of yous can clarify things fer an old guy...
First..Was the white lower panel under the dash bezel correct...?
And were the hood hinges & springs galvanized/silver..?
And...my '63 has the manual throttle cable, and it is located directly on the right of the column, next to and level with the ignition key...spaced like the rest of the knobs. Is mine in the wrong spot...?

I will politely disagree with jb. All the hinges I've seen on Fremont built trucks are plated, not painted. Dull cad or maybe gray phosphate? This detail could be an assembly plant thing or a Chevy/GMC issue.?
The instrument panel, the panel under it, and the steering wheel are all off-white on "custom comfort" interiors in '62.
no input from me on the 4X4 choke/throttle knob locations.
