Re: Med olive trucks interior

I used to hate green and blue interiors...or any color for the most part. Black was the only color I liked many years ago. White was pretty cool and a favorite for custom interiors. Red was alright for sporty/flashy,too. This was in the '60s. Getting more into these trucks I started liking Parchment cuz there's something cool about a white interior in a truck...mostly now that they may not be used for work any more. But I had a ,70 CST/30 Custom Camper medium gold poly w/parchment interior that I put a utility bed on and worked out of. I had no problem keeping it clean (oil & grease are another story). I started liking saddle as my favorite color in these trucks because the vinyl is made to look like saddle leather. But,I just can't quite get into saddle with medium olive poly. You don't see it much. I think I actually like it now,just like I like green and blue interiors now.I look at it as maybe not what I would have ordered,but cool cuz it's just so out of that era. They just don't do colors like they used to and that in itself causes me to like it all,even the funkier the better. The same with paint colors. Some just scream late-60s/early-70s. I've had quite a few medium olive poly trucks. Most were black interior and a few were parchment. Both look really sharp against that paint. But that olive in a medium olive poly truck is something I've really grown to like a lot. You rarely,if ever see that interior in anything but the olives. I'd like to see a black with olive interior.
