Ever seen a ashtray delete? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

shaneschevys · 09-25-2006, 02:41 PM

Got this out of a 71 parts truck a few years ago. Is this something made up or did GM do this?

Joe67 · 09-25-2006, 02:54 PM

Interesting piece, looks OEM

shifty · 09-25-2006, 03:00 PM

It's OEM, and they're pretty hard to find. I wanted to get one of these and a radio delete for my truck a while back, but opted not to :\

Change of heart, change of mind...

Cool, you wanna double your money?

Longhorn Man · 09-26-2006, 12:28 AM

interesting, never heard ot that one. That would be cool to have a truck with heater, ashtray and radio delete plates.
Well, it'd be cool that you'd be the only one in town like that anyways.

**special-K** · 09-26-2006, 07:11 AM

Funny,we used to search for rare options.Now,we search for rare non-options.I never smoked...cigarettes,but ashtrays make nice coin,screw,and paper clip holders.Mini-vans come in non-smoker form.Where do the kids stuff their gum and wrappers?

Rod · 09-26-2006, 07:39 AM

hmmm

67ChevyRedneck · 09-26-2006, 08:43 AM

The funny thing is that it looks like an ashtray. So when it's in the dash you can't tell the difference. Weird. I'm doing the opposite to my truck, I'm adding as much crap to make it a nice DD as I can.

Tks ................................. 409

lpaine · 09-26-2006, 11:34 AM

Hey 57sailplane, is that a glove box door you've put over the gauge/dash panel? Looks interesting.

**jlmerie** · 09-26-2006, 03:44 PM

I believe this is a factory heater delete plate.

Longhorn Man · 09-26-2006, 03:53 PM

look at the back of that one up top, in the begining of the thread, looks nothing like the heater delete plate at the bottom of the thread.

cdowns · 09-26-2006, 04:00 PM

the ashtray "delete" just looks as if someone removed the ashtray from the faceplate for some reason

**special-K** · 09-27-2006, 08:28 AM

Hey,I`m going to use the glovebox door to make a guage-delete plate.I want to delete everything.I figure I can delete the steering wheel by mounting hydraulic levers down at the front of the seat so you can`t tell I`m driving.

Premium72 · 09-27-2006, 09:20 AM

special-k you got me crack'n up....get out a here with that....

57sailplane · 09-27-2006, 09:58 AM

**hotrodmtodd** · 09-27-2006, 10:23 AM

Man, that Tim IS funny isn't he! Jeez, I'm glad he doesn't live by me, my CHEEKS and GUT would be sore from all the LAUGHIN' all the time. Wouldn't you need the SEAT DELETE as well Tim, so people wouldn't see your HEAD?

**special-K** · 09-27-2006, 09:46 PM
