Black interior, what color sunvisors & headliner?

[dotcentral]

My black 71 Sport custom originally had a blue interior, but headliner & visors were long gone when I got it. I have two sets of 68-69 sunvisors in good to decent shape, color is ivory/off white. I have a headliner from a parts truck, perforated cardboard, same color. What were the standard colors for a black truck? I can see not having a black headliner. Same for visors. Anyone have an original truck that can answer? I am thinking it should be the off white/ ivory color.

I can dye these black, or any other complimentary color, but prefer to use part store spray dye. Anyone have a good thread on the color change process?

Been awhile, but seems like the visors changed around 1970? Is that correct? these visors do not swing into anything onto the mirror, the go into a plastic receiver mounted above the mirror, on the cab roof. If I am right in saying that, how hard is it to swap a 71 to the older style visors? I have the plastic receiver that fits my visors.

My 69 has the clip for the visors mounted to the cab roof. Can't help with your question about 71 visors, though.

My 68 has a original black seat and black door panels. The original visors are the off white/Ivory you refer to.

67 was the only year that had the drop down mirror with the clips on it. 68-72 were all the plastic clip on the roof. I believe the mirror gap changed for a bigger mirror in 70 though. As for colors, whatever you think looks best at this point. Not sure of the stock color on a black interior. For color changing, I used rattle can spray on vinyl paint from the auto parts store. I have used it on seats and it works pretty well, but wears off where you sit after a while. However, I have used that same vinyl paint on the sun visors and the color never comes off. So that is the easiest way to color change them in my opinion.

Okay, thought something changed in there at some point on visors and mirror. I will try to finesse my mixed year parts. I will try to stick with Ivory if they clean up decent. If I have to repaint/dye might do visors black. Any cleaning suggestions other than soap water and a soft scrubbing?

Anyone else finding the 68-69 visors hold up better than the 70-72 visors? Might just be luck, but seems that way to me.

Got my visors all clean up and ready for color change. I think i am going to find some adhesion promoter to spray on visors before i apply the color.

Mine was pebble beige . . . everywhere. I've been adding some black to set things off a little including the visors and headliner (not shown, but painted black). Maybe try the opposite of mine (pebble beige visors and headliner).

I went with a beige from the home improvement store. Headliner, visors, and the clip to hold the end of visors.

the black on the door looks good.. I may consider doing that.
