Dash color
I know it's been discussed many times, today I bought a 67 D300. Dash is body color with a black dash pad. I read here that 67 should be satin black over body color. Is there any rhyme or reason to changes? I'm wondering what color I should make my project dash. Btw, it looks real good in color. It's a weird truck push door handles, early tin inner panels, small back window.

Re: Dash color
That door configuration is how 67's came - new style outer, old style inner. Weird is right, eh?

Re: Dash color
IDK if this is what you are asking but the best reason for a black dash is to reduce the reflection of it in the windshield. I know of no other functional rationale.marklein wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 11:14 pmI know it's been discussed many times, today I bought a 67 D300. Dash is body color with a black dash pad.

Re: Dash color
I’m not sure if this helps, but the dash in my 65 is red body color.
The engine and the trans are also red.

Re: Dash color
My '67 D100 has a body colour dash and a satin black dash pad. '67 was the first year for the push door handles.
Re: Dash color
My '67 W200 Wrecker came with the satin black dash / pad.

Re: Dash color
Any correlation between dash color & steering wheel color? It appears that my white wheeled dash was done in black over the factory blue-green (keep forgetting the proper name for that color!)
