Hello everyone.

I guess this time I am fishing for some fairly obscure information. The colors to detail out the dashboard on the 30cwt chevuy truck..

There are a couple of plates, glove box and small instrument cluster. My thinking is white dials with black lettering and a brownish glovebox but since I like to try to get things fairly accurate I thought i'd throw out the question.

thanks all

laters.

The instruments were either black with white lettering or white with black lettering. Some even had a golden brown color with white letteringdepending on what was available. Glove box lid would be the same color as the dash and the rest of the vehicle.

These vehicles were CKD cowl and chassis kits assembled and finished at the GM plant in Cairo Eygpt with local built rear bodies.

Cheers
Cliff
