Several questions have come up in the past few weeks on correct interior
colors
for Advance Design trucks (1947 2nd Series through 1955 1st Series). To
offer
some help, I went back through the information I've collected through emails
over the past 7-8 years. Here's what I found.......

Subject: [oletrucks] 52 GMC Interior Paint Color
I am ready to paint the interior of my '52 GMC pickup and need to know what
color of gray the interior should be. Some of the books I have found list
the
color of Medium Gray Metallic or Satin Gray Metallic. Does anybody know
what
the original color should be?
