Glovebox woodgrain - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Need to sand the glovebox door and need to know how is the woodgrain panel on the glovebox attached so I can remove it? I don't see any screws or clips going through and I don't want to ruin it

Remove the old "woodgrain" decal with paint removal. Repaint the glove box door, purchase a new "woodgrain" decal from a 67-72 reseller. There is a difference between a Cheyenne and a Cheyenne "Super". The Cheyenne "Super" decal has chrome trim and an emblem. New "woodgrain" decal, $19.95. "Woodgrain" decal also available for the dash bezel.

Like ftw80 said, if it's the original, it's glued on - the original panels weren't decals. You have to be really carful taking it off or you will bend it. Mine was in bad shape and I was going to replace it, but I still was going to try and get the old one off without damaging it, but I wound up bending it in several places. Maybe if you poured some paint thinner or lacquer thinner behing the panel it would soften up the glue, but I don't know - that's some tough glue they used and it's had 30 years to cure.

If a man speaks in the middle of a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Forget about "do it right the first time". Do it wrong the first time to learn how, then do it right the second time.
