Glove box insert
 
Has anyone seen an insert for the glove box door that makes it look like a dash bezel with the black texture finish.

I seem to remember a tech article in Classic Trucks magazine years ago) and the truck they used had one?

The glove box door also had the outer area chrome so it matched really nice.:chevy:

The '67's had a textured glove box door. There is a picture of one in this for sale thread...

My truck had chrome glove box door so I ordered some wrinkle paint from the Eastwood Company and sprayed it and the ashtray ( it was chrome too) and it matches the gauge surround panel exactly. I can post some pictures from home tomorrow if you want to see it.

Well not an insert but I think this is the look you are going for, here is my 72 K/5 with a chrome plated gb door with the black wrinkle paint (like mentioned above) treatment on the center area. Mel :chevy:

black wrinkle paint is available in most all autoparts stores a heck of alot cheaper than getting it mailorder// it works best when cured with the heat from a heat lamp/spotlight or just a 100watt bulb in a reflector 10-12inches away

Sure, that would be great.

I have used the wrinkle finish paint ,but I thought the one I saw was a seperate panel.

Thanks again!

I dont, it was in with a bunch of parts (bumpers, shifters, boot rings, ashtray, glove door, hatch handle and some misc. brackets) that were all taken in together and chromed as a group/lot, and it was years ago. Mel :chevy:

Here are the pics of my truck. You can buy a glove box door already chromed from LMC Truck and I'm sure there are other vendors that them too.

Thanks for the info, I knew someone would have the answer.
I will look into getting a chrome one from a vendor and painting it.:chevy:

Someone used to make a wrinkle finish applique' for them but I haven't seen one in years.

Maybe that was what I saw in the Classic Trucks magazine article, that was the first time I saw it and thought it really gave the dash a symetrical feel.
