Color of the Seat Covers

[blueticker17]

What color options would there have been in 1965 (LWB p/u). I see gray and black in SOR and wan to make sure before I start gathering parts for my resto.
Also, while seraching for seat colors, should a 1965 have black painted inner fenders and firewall. Anyone have any idea where the black stops/starts.
I want to be as accurate as possible with paint and colors.
Thanks.

black

Not sure if this helps but I have a '64 SWB that looks like not much was done to alter it (currently restoring it).

The firewall, inner fenders and underneath of the hood are all black.

As far as the seats, I have a bench seat that has tan flats (back and butt and behind seat) and maroon around all the edges. My rig looks like it was originally spanish maroon but I haven't checked the paint code yet. I had asked about this and got some bizarre responses that didn't really address if there was some color scheme mathing the exterior paint like this. If you find something by years let me know.

Good luck,

Aaron

I am certain that seats of that vintage were all a redish brick color. For examples, see this thread:

Yes, under the re-cover job mine are an aweful red color. This was original I see. I asume they used this color with any exterior colors? This with red exterior would be vomit inducing. I will have to make a decision and possible change to a charcoal color since these are not usable.
THanks.
