Default 78 interior two tone

Has anyone heard of black and doe skin interior in a 78? Or is it Bubba figuring black parts are cheaper than doe skin.

Bubba, or someones idea of a "cool" custom interior.

78 Doeskin came through with either matching Doeskin carpets, or a slightly darker tan carpet, but Doeskin was never available in some mixed combination of Doeskin and black.

Thanks for the information. Do you know what color the seat backs should be. Currently they're black.

The seat backs should be Doeskin.

Actually, everything should be Doeskin except the center gauge bezel, shifter console, top of the dash closest to the windshield, inside rear window frame and the rear storage compartment shade. These parts are black.

The two tone interior option (white and a second color) was available only for 76 and 77. Sounds like the PO did not dye the seatbacks when he\she replaced them.
