I am restoring my interior, and trying to get some ideas on a two-tone look. Please post pictures of your two-tone interior, and a note to what color your exterior is!

 

dash 1 color, everything else the other color

 

If you didnt know already, the factory spec is dash, headliner,seat and door panels one color, metal parts of interior the same as exterior IIRC. My truck was/is silver with a black roof, the dash, seats, headliner and door panels black, with the metal silver.

 

No, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information! Except I have seen some door panels that were two-tone themselves. I have seen some with an insert within the door panel itself that is a contrasting color, and that insert matches the seat design.

Like this:
Ford door panel Bronco F150 right side green - eBay (item 170607222515 end time Mar-01-11 13:32:00 PST)

What would the color scheme be with the two-tone door panels?

 

Check out my build thread for some pics of the interior of my truck:

Although the seats and console arent OEM (Seat had been reupholstered and was worn out so not sure what the original fabric was), the door panels and rest of the interior are.
Dash pad, headliner, door panels are all original pieces and are dark brown (door panels have tan inserts), the dash metal is dark brown and the rest of the interior metal is painted the same as the exterior color. It also had the original brown rubber floor mat in it (but it was worn out) until I took it out to redo the floor pans. This is how the truck came from the factory. I am the second owner and talked with the old guy for quite a while when I bought it just to find out what all was original and what wasn't. It is a '78 Ranger F150.

 

The higher end trucks, Lariat's, some XLT's and there were a couple of special package trucks that had 2 tone interior panels. The seat and the door panels could be 2 tone and I think I recall seeing a headliner that was 2 tone but I'm not certain it was stock. I had Black and Grey, Blue and white, red and white. Seen brown and white and I'm sure there is more.

 

Ive even seen a dark blue and light pale yellow. (Lincoln built some special edition cars that color in those years) A kid I went to high school with bought one new. (or I'd bet daddy did) Never seen another one like it. I beleive it was a Lariat and it was either a 78 or 79. F150 4x4 shortbed. Anyone else ever seen one like that? He still had it a few years back and had restored it a couple of different times. Gotta be a rare one.

 

I have all kinds of colors going on. You can see my interior here: The Street Slammer Project - The Interior

Just scroll down on the page.

 

Here is the interior in my '79 F250 Ranger. This is all original, except for the steering wheel and Tach. I also removed the wood grain panel from the glove box door and installed an earlier model Ranger glove box emblem. The 2-tone door panels are original, but the lighter green is not an insert, it is a coating of some type right over the dark green plastic. The headliner and sunvisors are dark green to match the dash.





And the exterior, also original colors. Light medium green with white in the center:

 

Here you go, I have the Black/Silver interior in the bottom l/h pic (no that is not me next to it) and the outside is silver.

And I know you want two tone but, here is a wood grain example, and a door panel idea.

 

Not my truck but its a nice interior...........

 

77&79F250, I just LOVE that black/silver interior in that advertisement! I prefer the "inserts" to be one color, like the black/silver one in that ad or the lower pic of the blue/silver panel and ford141's truck. That is the look I am going for. Is the headliner silver or black in your truck? I would love to see more pictures!

Thank you, Gentlemen! Keep them coming!

 

It was a ugly white cardboard with the white visors and head liner ring. It now has black visors and a black factory vinyl headliner with chrome ring.

Can not get to truck to get you a pic, can in about a week?

FYI I have a set of red/white panels like the pic in #11 all red with white where the white or silver is and red where the window crank is. PM if interested......

Never mind I see you are just getting ideas for your 85? Ford 141's upper panel part is hard plastic, I think you can get thin padded covers for an 85?? The wood grain and the silver and red ones have a padded overlay.

Red parts truck interior and not my idea of user friendly door panel skin, ouch on the elbow.

 

Jade interior

 

thats nice smokey
