No chrome buttons on Birds or Bees. I’ve had tannish brown ones with bronze painted upper door panels and two tone tan bench seat and blue ones with blue uppers and bucket seat interior. Black ones with black interior. I believe the color is to closely match the painted upper door panels.

Black for your black interior. Door lock knobs were color coded to the interior in 69 B bodies.

Related question - has anyone found a reproduction door lock knob that actually is any good? I bought some recently from one of the Mopar shops and the thread is so tight that the knobs won't screw on. So the Chinese guy who built the mold didn't do it correctly. Anyone know of a vendor who sells reproduction door lock knobs that actually fit? Had the same experience, was so happy to not have to dye knobs anymore until I tried to install them!!! More incorrect reproductions!!! Ron

Ron Same here, I just bought a set of white knobs, I had a set of Dorman brand Chrome knobs which fit/looked excellent, just that I needed white, so when the white ones came out, looked nice, didn't fit for $hIt, I'm like "really!", they can't even get a part so simple right?, were's the QC before during and after the production of this part?... yeah the solution was easy, just run a tap thru the part, but reworking "new" parts starts to get old lately... Could be worse I suppose?..."too loose"? then what a heli-coil... What is sad though; the Mopar repro "license guys" have been on here in the past defending their money grabbing program, esp the QC portion of it, IMHO I'd say they should forfeit any monies from licensing inferior repro parts, until they are corrected, maybe a hit in their wallet instead of ours might get some favored results?.... but in reality we all know it's just another money grab, they could give 2 $hit$ about the enthusiast... as long as the parts move,(whether they're usable or not) and monies come in who cares, right?

It's the same deal on the dame lamp switches that screw into the hinge pillars: apparently the manufacturers don't bother to look at thread pitch. Agreed!...bought enough of those pieces of junk too...

Ron, I tapped them 8-32, this was for a 68-70 B body application, I would "assume" Ma Mopar "most likely" used the the same thread application from 66-74? A,B,C,E ?....
