Special-K,
Thank you for the answer to the question. You undoubtedly did give the answer that "all" GMCs had clusters and glovebox doors painted to match" whatever" vinyl color it had (unless it`s a SierraGrande), and I failed to give you credit for that. I was going off of the order of the posts in the thread and longhorn man did confirm that GMC did paint clusters to match gloveboxdoors, vinyl etc. and had posted some pictures. A big thanks goes out to both of you on that one, your are awesome resources.

As far as the grill goes, it is very peculiar because I can find no black paint residue under the paint the the PO had used over top of the blue. Under the original blue is chrome. Maybe they stripped the black before painting the blue on there?? Anyhow, it looks as if I will need to repaint it black if I want it to look original.
Thanks.
