Is the console ash tray the same as the rear arm rest ash trays?
I'm in the process of restoring my interior on my 1972 Blazer CST, finally.
The three small ash trays are a little beat up so I figured I might as well purchase some new ones since I'm replacing the rear arm rests. I thought the ash trays were the same but when I saw the two different numbers listed on LMC's website I figured there must be a difference, like the front is deeper or something. I was not sure because I figured my ash trays may have been swapped at some point, but I really didn't know. I went ahead and placed an order for a front console ash tray (38-5010) for $59.95 and two rear chrome ash trays (38-2403) for $19.95 from LMC. The two rear ash trays showed up at the same time while the front was on back order. I front showed up several weeks later. Upon comparison, the dimensions look identical, but the front has a rough satin finish and appears not to be chrome plated. I suppose it is supposed to be this way to closely match the finish on the ash tray bezel plate on the console but I'm not really sure. Interestingly the front ash tray showed up in a www.harmons.com package with this information on the label: 62-77 Nova, Chevy II Part #X223750 and 55.00 written on it in pencil. A LMC sticker was placed on the package with part no. 38-5010 as well. I found the ash tray here: http://www.harmons.com/ItemDetail.aspx?pid=15588. Does anyone know for sure? I'm think this is pretty odd considering the non chrome plated ash tray costs $59.95 while the chrome plated costs $19.95. I want the interior to be correct, but this is a little strange to have two different finish ash trays in the same vehicle. I feel like I got burned out of $40.
