Cliff D Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hello, I was wondering if any 65 l320 dashes were painted the same color as the body or were they all the brown color? Thanks, Cliff 1 Quote Link to comment
difrangia Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I believe that dashes were body color and instrument surround panel was medium gray. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cliff D Posted February 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Thank you. My original dash was brown and a second dash I had was also brown, but my truck was white. 1 Quote Link to comment

The gauge surround is really hard to paint match. It's like a pewter grey with a slight touch of metallic. But everything I've tried is either too metallic or not metalic at all. I just got a second surround from Ted H so I can experiment a little. 1 Quote Link to comment
difrangia Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 I redid the gages on our 320 several years ago and this is the result. I had an original gage surround scanned and matched and this is what I came up with: This is the match that my guys found in Martin Senyour paint. 2 Quote Link to comment
66Fairlady Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 1962-64 320 truck dashes were the same color as the body. 1965 320 truck dashes were brown, Not a smooth surface but flat or slightly textured. 1 Quote Link to comment
Serge Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 My 65 320 is an asia pacific version (Right drive) and has what is now a dark green crackle dash finish, to contrast with the dark teal original paint colour. I understand that there was also a pale grey crackle finish, for the lighter colours. 1965 only for the crackle finished dash as far as I can tell... 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 My '65 320 had a black wrinkle coated dash. My '63 NL320 had a body colored dash. Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I sold it about 15 years ago. I tried to track it down again, but never got anywhere with it. If any of you come across a blue NL with an A14 in it, that's probably my old one, and I'd love to see where it is or who owns it...and if it's for sale! I had dual SUs on it when I owned it, and the motor was fresh. I think the guy I sold it to shelved it so it could even be in a landfill for all I know. 2 Quote Link to comment
