Texas,
GMC's base model was called, oddly enough, the 'deluxe cab interior'. The high end version was the 'custom cab interior'. The only difference is the seat. Deluxe gets you thicker foam and nylon fabric.
The 1960-61 brochure says the top of dash is a non-glare, charcoal gray with lower panel and steering column in harmonizing metallic silver. For '60-'61 the deluxe seat was the same color combo. The custom seat lists silver-black nylon trimmed with silver-gray vinyl. For '62 the interior color name has changed to Silver-Fawn, with the deluxe seat in Silver-Fawn vinyl with dark gray trim. The Custom seat now comes in four, two-tone combos: Delta Green, Terrace Blue, Varsity Blue and Silver Fawn vinyl paired with Silver Fawn nylon with the accent color determined by the exterior color.
Now, whether earlier Silver Gray is the same as Silver Fawn, I don't know. It may be very close to Chevy's Fawn Metallic. Confusing, huh?
