So when I do get a C10/R10 I plan on painting it Ice Blue Met(21) WA7470, as this is the color my wife has picked out lol. I actually don't mind the color at all. However when i do get to the interior I am a bit torn on what to do color wise. I am thinking Camel colored interior, or Black or even Blue. I have not figured that part out so here I am asking for help lol. What do you guys think will look the best? I think all 3 would be great. I am heavily leaning towards the Camel, but it would be in a normal design not the one pictured.

I will be going through Etsy seller B62Upholstery for my seat cover.

Camel all day. Or chocolate or any version of brown. We used that same color in duplicolor to accent a buddy's 86 2tone blue/wht c10. It matched the factory blue close enough to look great. We did the wheels and grille slits and it just looked so much better than I thought it was gonna. Its the truck in my profile pic and you can see the color there under my head,lol. The interior was saddle brown like the High Country trucks and it looked great with the blue.

IMO hard to not go with blue to match the paint. But I’m biased, lol.
Black or brown would look good too for seats and carpet and compliment the blue color but would have to be both seats and carpet and preferably door panels as well imo.

My wheels will be silver with chrome center caps. And I probably will do the center bar on the grill the blue as well. I am unsure if I want to two tone it as I'd have to do the older style moldings to separate the colors as it would look better that way. I'd love to do a darker like baseball glove color interior but finding a matching interior paint or dye would be tough I think.

Door panels, and dash pad will match the seat. Whichever way I decide to go the Carpet will be black.

My truck came that color originally. Mine is silver where this first one is gray. The OEM interior is Charcoal. The second picture is #21 Met Blue (fresh paint) in a solid color.

I think a light or dark brown would be great with the blue TBH.

I wish i could find the old pics of the C10 I built before digital cameras were a thing. I put the factory tan interior in mine with the factory blue paint and it looked awesome.
