I am wondering if your truck was 2 tone and had the darker color on top. What color would the interior of the cab be? If it makes a difference I'm looking at colors scheme's for 1972.

Did the buyer decide this or factory?

 

Took some pictures at a car show of 2 trucks. One had red on top, white in the middle and red on the bottom. The other had just the opposite, white, red white. Both had white painted inside with black accessories(dash pad, seat, door panels, carpet). Don't know if that is how they came from the factory, but it matched both set ups nicely.

 

Usually they seem to have the interior color match the center color of the outside. So if you roll down the window, same color paint inside and out.
But there were a lot of dealer installed two tones back then too. Most often they painted just the top or the top and bottom.
I remember one Chevy dealership back in the 60s and 70s that painted the top white on almost every truck they sold. That was before A/C was widely used and it helped keep the inside cooler.
My best bump, a 72 I drove for 16 years, was two toned. Base color was like Ford blue, then a powder blue top and bottom. I knew the truck from when it was new and it was always that way but I think it might have been dealer applied. For one thing there was no chrome around the cab to separate the colors and there was the dark blue under the light blue. I never saw another like it, all of the ones that color had the light blue in the middle.

 

Uhm..I spaced the roof as one of the colors but thanks for the info.

 

Typically Ranger package trucks had a white roof regardless of what color they were.
I have seen interiors with either the upper or lower color, I think it depended more on which color was done first than anything else.

 

If factory tu-toned, there will be two COLOR codes stamped on the Warranty Plate. The primary color is listed first.
