'65 2 tone paint scheme

I have a couple questions about 2 toning the '65 styleside I'm working on....it was originally just one color.
I plan on painting it red and white with factory colors. I know how the exterior colors are laid out, but what about the interior? Solid red? What about the firewall? Inside the box?
The truck is not a Custom Cab or Ranger and I am not trying to make it one.....just want it to look right.
If you have any pics, or a link, please post them. Thanks!

Scott,

I am just finishing up a two tone '66 F250. I have a lot of pictures, but the one's at the paint shop might help you. You will have to look a little, but if you don't find exactly what you want, PM me and I'll send you a shot of what you ask for.

I got carried away with the pictures; a shot of the brakes on every wheel??!! Oh well, hope it helps.

How EXACT do you want to be? In the example above the door jambs are the major body color from the factory and not the accent color.

Here is an example on one part of the truck.

It does not have to be exact at all.......just needed the basic layout and was wondering if anyone had a done it differently.
A google search brings up lots of different combos, some good, some not.
Thanks for the detail pics.

Do you have the chrome on the truck? Or are you planing on something else?
My truck had no chrome and was all white when I got it and I wanted a two tone paint so we painted on chrome strips:

Yes, the truck has the original side trim.....otherwise I probably wouldn't 2 tone it at all.
I like that color combo on yours, looks good!

Allen, is that bus in the pic a project in the waiting? Would make one heck of a tow vehicle to take you truck to the shows. You could stock it with parts and even use it to sleep in if needed. Short ones like that are not plentiful.
Still a cool looking bus
