Painted Inside Cab Today

I done this today so I can put the front and rear glass in and start putting the inside of the cab together. The pictures don't show too good but I am happy with the way it turned out. I was going to go with palisade green but after a test panel I didn't like the color so went back and got winter green. It is the same color my dad's 1950 was.

Very nice, and smart too. There is one guy that I know very well, (me) that never got around to painting the inside of his cab, except for door jams and treating some superficial surface rust. Big mistake, It s been 5 years now and I still have not got around to it. Its so hard to take it out of service again. But yours looks great and you wont ever have to worry about it again, the right move move indeed

Thank you for the kind words. It does feel good having the dash painted so I can start putting the cab together.

I don't believe either of those colors are original but maybe that isn't important to you. If it is here is a color chart that may help:
