ashtray difference???

[2low72]

I picked up an ashtray at a local junkyard. clean it up real nice, and it doesn't fit where it supposed to. Is there a difference from 67-72. was my 72 GMC special or something. Ive owned two other trucks, a 68 and another 72 and the ashtray would have worked in them.. thanks

Some of them have ball bearing slides and some of them have nylon runners.
I am unsure of which models have what kind though.
I like the ball bearing ones over the others myself.
I could be wrong in this line of thought but:
I think they should both interchange but you would have to change out the tray and the carrier with it.
The only other difference that I can think of is the 67 had a different faceplate, which was a smoother finish

yeah this one has the ballbearing slides. ive never seen anything else. i guess i'll just pull the rest of the assy ou of the same truck tomorrow. thanks

Mine has the ball bearings in it and was the original ashtray, 69 Chev, interesting they made 2 different ones.

71-72 have the slides, you can take off the assembly that the ashtray slides on, not sure if they interchange though.

yeah the ashtray doesn't even fit inbetween the slides in the dash just a smidgen to wide. hopefully they interchange

There are I think 4 screws holding the guide in place, the heads are facing down, they might be hard to get at if the heater controls are in.
