That's how mine is painted, but should have the wood grain to be correct (Sierra Grande) but I think they made lots of errors back then.

SHawn

Looks like we`re still learnin`.I wasn`t absolutely sure if all`67s had the black glovebox door.I can`t say I`ve seen the tan clusters.But,I believe you.

I've got a 67 GMC 3/4T Custom Camper that has the gold/tan colored interior and the glove box door and cluster was the tan color. It is not like the 67 Chevy glove box doors clusters.

Interesting I own a GMC but didn't know that, but my interior is black so I just assumed it was the same as chevy.

It was GMC`s way of standing out from a Chevy on the inside.Small change,yet a totally different look.
