interior colours, the professional parts suppliers can't answer can a professional restorer answer.

'70 Runner, the B5 interior is long gone. So going through catalogs, they list colors for carpet, headliner etc. such as light blue, med. blue, dark blue. But none of the catalogs specify exactly what color for what year/ model so without the original stuff a color match is not possible. Also leads to what color is correct for kick panels, dash trim, a pillar and headliner moldings.
I did order carpet and headliner awhile ago and have recently found out they may not be correct shade of blue....thanks professional parts supplier....lol

The seat covers and door panels are easy to get correct.

Thanks in advance to replies!
 
Depends on the level of restoration....

Herbs part has nice interior paints available for a a non concours type build

Concours type build if the whole interior matches then it is incorrect. The parts should vary in sheen, finish, and texture.
Performance car graphics in Fl is a good place to answer your questions for that type of build. Ask for Dave

The carpet may not match...

Post pics of your headliner next to your carpet.......Also, a pic of your Fender tag if you have that

Generally speaking
B3 is light blue
B5 is med
B7 is dark blue
The fender tag will tell you what color(s) interior the car came with.
 
fender tag is P6B5, according to some they say some of the trim/carpet should be a darker blue than B5. The company I ordered from sent a light blue headliner and med blue carpet.

Another reason I build cut-up racecars.
