Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Thanks for the good words. I’ll post up an update here after I make a few interior changes. The build never ends lol

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Shaking off some winter cobwebs this week. I finally got around to replacing the faulty turn signal switch in the tilt column and while at it I swapped a NOS woodgrain/chrome bezel onto the cluster. The manual throttle option added at the time of the original build was d/c'd in order to spare the risk of damage to the new bezel. As luck would have it, a NOS woodgrain glove box applique came with the cluster bezel and this I added last year. It's nice to now see OE woodgrain from the driver seat.

I'm curious, did you have to touch up the chrome lettering (wiper and lights) on the bezel, and if so, how did you do that? It seems like many of the NOS ones had the chrome applied lightly in that area. Also, are the holes for the turn indicators chromed on yours? |

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Looking great Pete. Very few ways a truck like this could get upgraded. But wow, an NOS woodgrain bezel. Next level.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Fellas thanks for the good words and also for following along for all these years.
The chrome was a little light on “Lights” and best appreciated on the L. Wondering if it’s possibly from shelf wear. Chrome on the “Wiper-Washer” seems all intact but hard to convey with a photo. Good call on the direction arrows, no chrome on these recesses.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Here’s the NOS GM appliqué compared with a NOS example from Golden State pickup parts. Also a better photo of the glovebox prior to install.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Glovebox door looks really good. I have a few nos dashes with the chrome, but the turn indicator holes were chromed which isn't really correct. Sorta strange. Thanks for the info.

Hell, I love the box. Edit: Looks like you picked it up for $25. Good buy.
