Ash Tray and Glove Box Handles Wtd.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cypress TX 72 · 08-13-2007, 11:58 PM

I have posted this before and have been looking for these handles for sometime, probably 10 years - I seen them again on a 70 last week that I stoped and looked at.
I have found no one on the entire board that has ever seen these, much less could sell me a pair.
I placed another thread on the parts side yesterday and still no results - so I called a freind of mine that has 15-20 67-72's junked and asked him, he called me back and told me that indeed one of the trucks had them - so i went out there today and picked them up and took some pictures -
I'll take these and have them re-chromed, but has anyone ever seen these before or know where i can get them new??

By the way - including a truck I seen probably 15 years ago, the truck i seen last week and the truck today - these are the only three I have ever seen - and I have seen many, many, many of these trucks.

were they all in the same part of texas by chance?
Maybe an odd ball dealer thing, like the hood orniments

I have seen a picture of a handle on the glove box before but not like that one. I love the idea though. I'm going to make my own I guess at some point and time.

Looks like a kitchen cabinet handle.

It would be handy though....It's a bear to open my glove box, even with the new latch. I usually use the key in the lock as a 'handle'. Ashtray....no clue as I've never opened it.

If not a kitchen cabinet handle, it looks like one I saw on a white metal cabinet that the folks bought over 50 years ago. The cabinet was double-walled and the screws would have been long enough for the use you showed.

Did you happen to check the SPID on the glovebox door or look for a build sheet?

My guess would be dealer only option?

Or maybe they came from a mail order catalog from back in the day like JCWhitney today...

Still neat.

It`s a cabinet pull from the old steel cabinets,is what I think.
