What is the correct color of mid 60 chevy truck interiors.? I drove only a couple as a teen and I remember one being a light gold or dirty brass color and 1 being white. so would using Tamiya champagne gold be correct???

I can't say as I have ever seen one with a white interior aside from a white inset painted on the door panels in the Custom Cab models. They were usually the colour light gold/brown which, when it is clean and shined up, actually is quite pretty as far as I am concerned. That colour goes with any body colour and the seat vinyl was also a gold/brown colour. There was not a lot for options on those trucks but they were still one of the prettiest trucks GM ever produced.

The interior colors did vary a bit depending on year, though the champaign gold/brown combo is pretty common. Her's a couple of sites that might help you out; http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits.html http://pc.dupont.com/hcl/?locale=en_US

The first is the GM Heritage Center, which has data on Chevrolets going pretty much all the way back to the beginning, including color codes and combinations. The second is the DuPont Historical Color Library, which has color chips for almost all GM oem colors, with their respective codes. It also covers several other brands of vehicles that used DuPont as an oem supplier. It's a pretty neat to browse through, there's colors listed in there that were seasonal, and were not necessarily listed in the "official" color charts.
