Dash color

Post by spesce »

I am at the point in my restoration where the critical questions come up. My dash is all black with white gauge plate with a international school bus yellow original.

what is the common dash color? body color or black? if black, gloss or satin?

\The 68s that I have seen have satin black dashes. As do 67s,except on 67s the black is painted over the body color.
I sold all of my sweptline trucks,except the invisible one. I just couldn't stand to see it go!

The gauge plate shouldn't be White and none of it should be IH colors. :thinking

I have one in my back yard (67 D300) and the dash is body colour and it has a dash pad bar like the 68 trucks. Unrestored rusty old survivor. :thinking

Hey Doug, I thought you were outa trucks. Good to hear you have at least one left over. I just bought a 68 D300 near your addy. I will be bringing it home in a few days. 25 miles east of you. Figuring to make it a upgrade in several ways. Even though I have been quiet, I have not yet stopped buying sweptys. Gordo
