Lessee....'57 telephone bed....extended cab....big V-8 - not a flattie, '69 rear end...and you're worried about "original style paint color"????? Ahhh, go two-tone!!

I cleaned up my old glove box door to sell on ebay and remember you are thinking gray body, and ? on the dash trim.

I know my 52 was originally light grey, and after i cleaned up this door i noticed the 2nd color is a metallic silver style (i've seen this on other trucks)........
anyway, thought i'd link you a picture that show the different colors (it is alittle metallic, but don't show up well in this picture)

Thanks! So it sounds like they DID put the silver on a light gray...Guess I'll still have to re-think my colors. Nice looking trim on that boxlid. Is it up on 'bay now?
