Dash pad question

My 74 F350 Ranger XLT SCS is white with a red roof. I've assumed my truck is very original, but just realized this may not be the case. The interior is deep red/maroon - carpet, door panels, headliner, seat. However, my dash pad is black - is this correct? Or should it be red?

The dash pad in my truck was black, with white headliner, red seat and red door panels.

My truck was originaly red with white roof.

You had three colours in that interior. Did Ford have any rhyme or reason to the interior colour combo's in the 70's??

Not sure, I am the second owner of the truck. The previous owner used the truck as the daily farm truck and didn't really touch or modify anything before I got it. The door panels, seat and dash pad definately belong. As for the headliner not sure why that was white unless it was chosen to match the exterior white roof. All metal in the cab is red.

I should also say my truck is a 1974 F100 2WD Custom Long bed.
