Did any of these come with the Oak interior?
Yep, in fact I have seen quite a few NS in tan(oak) interior for ‘97 & grey for ‘96 - there are exceptions & I’d only recently learned ‘95 was a NS option year.
Possibly been repainted? Don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but it looks like the rear bumper is color matched.Your paint looks incredible.

‘95 with 215k and grey interior. 2.5” OME with 315’s on 17” steelies (1.5” spacers). Bought it a couple years ago as an impulse purchase. The po bedlined the mirrors and fender flares. The paint is toast in most areas especially hood, roof and below windows. At some point, it appears the rear quarters were repainted, oxidized and now is a purpulish color depending on the light. There are days when the toasted paint gets to me, at the same time that makes it a perfect trail and camping truck.

My original plan changed a little. I ended up skipping the paint step and going to suspension! And I also decided to wheel it a little!
ICON Stage 1 75 mm dual rate springs
ARB Front with side bars and step, yeah they aren't sliders, but I just love the way they look.

Both of my kids have claimed ownership of the Cruiser. Besides, we still have big plans for it: engine rebuild, respray, new leather, etc.. It will be in the family for the next 20 years.if you ever consider selling, let me know. I am looking for a nightshadow cruiser.
