Help with paint and trim options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Somewhat new to the C-10 and need a little visual aid in trying to identify the correct color and trim options that came original to my truck. If anyone could take the time to post pics of these options it would really help me decide any future plans. Right now the truck is several different colors with little to no trim.

Your truck has the paint code 555 which breaks down to a 525 Saddle Fawn metallic and 526 Ivory conventional Two-Tone. Since a fawn interior was standard it is not called out on the SPID.
Here is some information with paint codes for you and pictures from a '69 in the same paint color as it is a very good color representation.
Of note is the interior is not the same color as the exterior and the upper dash is a darker semi-flat color forward of the pad.
Wish I had some pictures and I will look tonight for more.

thanks for taking the time to find this information for me, kind of a cool color combo. I am kinda partial to the teal colors but may have to reconsider if I want to make it original.
Anyone know if the options from the information Provided included any sort of side body trim?

gettin much clearer now, looks like I need to start looking for side body trim if I want to be correct with the oem options. Thanks so much for the info, it just occurred to me that I have a CST big block truck, to bad the engine is toast but at least I have it 4 a future rebuild.

Do you have any pics of the truck ?

I do have a few I can post, haven't had many photo opportunities lately. The color under the cowl looks like the saddle color, just need alot of time to undo all of the changes made by previous owners.
