Difference between 63v and 63c trim?

**TwoTees** · 19-03-2011, 09:05 PM

My van is a 10/78 originally with 63v trim. I am slowly collecting the 63v bits as I currently have black.
I picked up an arm rest the other day that is supposed to be buckskin but is a slightly darker colour when held together with one of the original 63v ones I removed years ago.

Is the actual colour of 63v different to 63c?
When did they change?
I do remember reading something about this ages ago but can't remember or find it now.

V is the older long grain style and C is the commodore style grain.

I thinking of bidding on some seats from a 79 hz and not sure if they are correct.

Do you know when it changed?

crash pad also changed colour and grain style finish.

I can post pics if you like.

Pics would be good.

Twotees, I've got a pair of seats, dashpad and centre console that came out of a HZ wagon that look to be similar to those ones on ebay. Passenger seats good but drivers has a tear on the outer side of the seat base. Give us a yell if you're in the Dickson area and want to have a look. 04three8six3five2six5.

Playwme,
Will do, I will be working at Hackett on and off over the next few weeks.
I'm good for dash and console but I do also need a drivers arm rest, bit under the dash with the buckskin end, console arm rest and handbrake shroud if you or any one else can help. Also door trims but have planned that I will buy repo for these unless I can find ones at least 9.5/10
I was planning on using a full black interior but if I can come close to finding the right stuff I may as well stick with original.
Cheers,
Chris

Ok here is the two 63 trims. These are on a HZ GTS so door trims are different to sandman. But dash is the same.

The first one is 63V. This one has a grain looking dash pad. Same look as the seats.
The second is 63T (same as 63C except T=Cloth insert with C vinyl) This one has a sandpaper looking dash pad. Same as the HZ Hoodlining

Note the different glovebox, console etc etc. This is all correct! Sorry I do not have a pic of the 63C interior with a glovebox fitted.

On 63C (the sandpaper grain dashpad) and lower dash and glovebox door are Dk Buckskin

On 63V (the long grain dashpad) and lower dash and glovebox door are Tan.
