Glove Box pictures and Ideas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bowtiefreak · 07-24-2008, 07:14 AM

I am looking for different ideas at making a glove box look better. Does anyone have some pictures of aftermarket or modified stock ones that they could post.

Thanks, Ron

I've seen some on here that had airbrush designs on them. Try doing a search for "glovebox door". Personally I love the look of chrome on my truck, so I have a chrome glovebox door!

I like the door to match the dash:

I topped it off with a new spid label made by member Chipflyer:

Always loved how your truck looks man. How did you get the glove box door to match the texture of the gauge cluster? Are those speaker mounts in the kickpanels custom made?

67_C-30 · 07-24-2008, 09:13 PM

I did something similiar to 67redneck's except I painted a painted the inset of a '72 Cheyenne Super dash with spray on bedliner and added a '67-68 Dash emblem. The texture has a rough course and matches almost identically to the dash bezel.

67_C-30 · 07-24-2008, 09:15 PM

Here's a few more options the first is a Cheyenne Super bezel like I used painted to match the dash, and the second is a chromed lid with the textured paint in the inset, which I really like.

A can of cheap truck bed liner from wal-mart and some clear coat.

The speaker kick panels are the same you can get from any vendor. They don't fit all too great, but look good enough. I just painted mine instead of leaving them black.

and...

Thanks

67Chevyredneck, how did you get a chromed bezel around your heater controls and did you paint them white? Looks really good.

Bowtiefreak · 07-25-2008, 09:36 AM

Thanks! There are some cool ideas.

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 07-25-2008, 09:37 AM

they sell a white faced guage kit for the heater controls.

They're not heater controls... it's a/c & heat

And yes, it was part of my white face gauge kit I bought off ebay.

Hey 67chevyredneck, is that a Lokar shifter? If it is do you like it?? I'm thinking of getting one

I have almost that exact same shifter that came in my '63 when I got it, the only difference is mine doesn't have overdrive. I personally like it, the only thing is if you have work done on your truck by someone else make sure they know to push the button in the center in to shift it into gear. When I had new tires put on the truck a few years ago the guy that pulled it out of the shop didn't know that and when I went to get in the truck the gearshift was pointed towards the steering wheel because the guy didn't know how to shift with that shifter

. I made sure to tell them before I even got in the truck and had them fix it so if they messed something up when they did that they would know they were the ones to mess it up and they would have to fix it. Other than that I've loved the shifter.

Thanks for the input

I matched up the glovebox to the instrument panel in my tow truck.The cluster has dark grey metallic where the chrome goes.So,I matched it up:

I`ve chromed the glovebox door and put woodgrain on and painted door and panel body color.

eseaton · 07-27-2008, 01:51 AM

I dont have any picks up yet but i just made one from 1/8 aluminum diamond plate and did a brushed finish on it. I covered the ashtray lid and im working on a gauge cluster for some new white face autometers.

Here is what I came up with Works for Me

**special-K** · 07-27-2008, 10:06 PM
