Matching Glovebox To Cluster - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 06-11-2008, 12:02 PM

I really like the look of matching the glovebox door to whatever look the gauge bezel has.The first I did was chrome a glovebox door and add woodgrain.I`ve taken a bezel and laminated a piece of formica to smooth it and painted it body color and painted a chromed glovebox door to match.
On my wrecker there`s a gauge bezel that looks like new.But,it`s a dark gray metallic instead of chrome w/the pebble grain black.I found a color to match by DupliColor and painted the edge of the glovebox door with it.Then used DupliColor Truck Bed Liner to spray the center and it`s a close texture.Here`s how it came out:

It`s not dry in the picture,so it looks streaky.But,it came out pretty good.I`ll get a pictureof it mounted after it dries.

looks good, can't wait to see pics of it mounted.

Looks good. I like a guy thats not afraid to look around and figure out how to make what he can see in his mind.

Looks great. I like the fact that it is grey and not chrome.

Dr.Jones · 06-11-2008, 01:25 PM

That looks sweat.

N2GMTrux · 06-11-2008, 11:11 PM

I like this added touch.... I wanted to get someone to make a black replica of the woodgrain. I think im going to do the same setup but also the radio delete and ash tray cover. I like it,,,,,,,,,, looks good!!!!!!!!

That looks great Tim! That's exactly the look I want in my '67 C-30.

I have chromed headlight & wiper knobs from Cheyenne Superman I bought (in the stone age) and never used that`ll go in this truck.I`m putting the kickpanel & lower door carpet I bought at the same time in there,too.I,also have an AM/FM/cassette for it.

I wish I had picture from those other dashes.The trucks are long gone and never thought to get pictures.Never thought I`d be sharing pictures on the internet,either.

GRIMSS · 06-11-2008, 11:27 PM

I like it. Looks great with both sides matching.

67_C-30 · 06-11-2008, 11:34 PM

This is awesome look also. It is basically what you did on a chromed glove box door and bezel.

I sent you a PM BTW!

**special-K** · 06-12-2008, 07:16 AM

Man,that is NICE!!!About what I have in mind for the`67 GMC.Except with a red mid-60s car wheel with horn ring.Unless I can make a GMC button for the sport wheel like that one I have.I may just go with black,too.I`m leaning towards a satin paint job at first.

That turned out great! Nice work, and great idea!
