Thinking about red Interior with silver? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jus2qwk · 03-28-2013, 01:25 PM

So I’m in the process of fixing the truck again and I’m thinking about doing a red interior but I’m not sure how I will like it. I’ve seen it done in cars but not sure about in a truck. I’m afraid it’s gonna look odd. Does anyone have a good example?

This is it currently. Sorry I dont have any good pic

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-28-2013, 01:55 PM

I don't have an example but I think it would look great

alsriv2 · 03-28-2013, 02:04 PM

I think it would look good. Maybe a deeper and darker red would be a good complement. Dark Cherry or Burgundy comes to mind.

black_sheep454 · 03-28-2013, 02:08 PM

I too think it would look great

It has been done on some cars. Looks great. Here is a 1996 Collector Edition Corvette

I think it looks great the way it is, but red probably wouldn't look too bad

LEX · 03-28-2013, 03:14 PM

I also think it would great. This might give you an idea.

This should sum it up.

I think it looks great how it is. Are you just itching to do a project or something? This is a real pita to do. I just changed my interior color. I had multiple different shades of mismatched dark blue that they no longer produce, and needed to replace my dash pad, so I just went with black.

You, on the other hand, have an already awesome looking interior. I'd just leave it

Changed mine to red interior and love it.

**special-K** · 03-29-2013, 07:27 AM

That's a hot combo and was very popular in sports cars of the '50s & '60s. It was offered in these trucks,too. My buddy has a '57 Belair convertible that came with that combo.

eric67c10 · 11-05-2013, 07:39 PM

I am currently redoing my interior from all black to red/silver

Thanks for bringing this thread back up. I am going to do the interior in my '70 SWB Red. I like the darker red with the silver... It makes it look classy.

X2..they used to have some neat combos in the 50s and 60s. Now everything is charcoal or grey...

No problem Lockdoc, i got everything from LMC ( i painted the kick panels and sunvisors ), will post pics when the seats are done and installed.

VDOG · 11-06-2013, 06:24 PM

That was the exact color scheme I had planned for my longbed. Great mines think alike.

eric67c10 · 11-08-2013, 06:07 PM

Here is the the seat bench, working on the the back rest.

Gene · 11-08-2013, 07:00 PM

Here's another. Was afraid it would be too red but I like it.

eric67c10 · 11-11-2013, 11:23 AM

Here it is all done, alot better than just all black which it was.

Tinkermc · 11-11-2013, 05:43 PM

Longhorn 70 · 11-11-2013, 05:46 PM
