Wood grain decal review - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I ordered a set of the 67-68 wood grain decals from Classic truck parts and the first one showed up in a damaged box creased with some small parts missing , I called customer service and they quickly had a replacement on the way . the first one looked flimsy and was already wrinkled and looked like the decal it's self was shrunk from the backing . a few short days later the replacement showed up and was a REPOPS brand part , all around it looks like a much better part it's made on a thicker decal and the lines are much better . now I'll have to call and order the REPOPS brand panel for the glove box so they match better .

So the yellow package is the Repops, right? And you are sying the counterpart one isn't as high quality?

Yeah, it should be more than just a mylar sticker, which I've seen. The pebble finish shouldn't show through. The thicker the better, so good to know about these.

Just make sure they fit the gauge holes, sometimes they don't quite fit the gauge holes right because of shrinking and stretching.
