Chromed glovebox door. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RON WOODGEARD · 08-25-2002, 07:39 PM

I've been searching for over a year for a CHROMED glovebox door and A guy came into the store the other day he got out of a nice 70 long wide box, We of course started shooting the bull and i went to take a gander at his truck, he had a chromed glovebox door. I commented on how I liked it and he said he had a brand new spare he had done for another project that never got off the ground.
He sold it to me for $25.00 + my old one..

I'm a lucky dog,lucky dog. I found a bone !!!

Hooter · 08-25-2002, 08:04 PM

were chromed glovebox doors an option?

**72 Super** · 08-25-2002, 08:06 PM

No they were not an option.Some of the parts suppliers sell them and the ash trays also.

Longhorn Man · 08-25-2002, 08:14 PM

along with defroster vents too.
Since my door isn't in perfect shape, and it is a b!tch to keep clean, I'm going to scuff the inlay portion and paint it black, leaving the outer edge chrome.

*racedvl* · 08-25-2002, 09:48 PM

You could get 2, then paint them both black on the inside, use one for a door, and the other as a guage bezel, cut some holes, and install some trick guages.

mikep · 08-25-2002, 10:29 PM

I'm diggin it. Where can I get one and how much?

*racedvl* · 08-25-2002, 10:34 PM

That' s what i need to find out !!

*Gee_Emm* · 08-25-2002, 10:53 PM

I have seen a few with the cowl vent done, I don't understand what the look that they are going for with that though.

Duner97 · 08-25-2002, 11:56 PM

that looks awesome! a chrome ash tray was mentioned. i've seen it, but cant remember where, and i want to get one... or maybe billet? anyone know where i can find one?

Blue_71 · 08-26-2002, 12:01 AM

i love those things!

btw andy-- it was oldpaint i think

nroden · 08-26-2002, 12:04 AM

I like that a lot. I am gonna try out my wood idea.

Longhorn Man · 08-26-2002, 12:33 AM

Thanks bloo...I feel like a complete idiot now.
And 68suburban...you don't need to touch that one either.

RON WOODGEARD · 08-26-2002, 12:47 AM

I haven't seen the actual chromed glove box door for sale anywhere....I always thought you had to have one done. The guy I got this one from had "TUCKERS" in VEGAS send his out.

I have seen the stainless inserts and the billet aluminum different places, but look on E-bay. there is always the ashtray inserts,dash bezel inserts and glove box inserts at very reasonable prices.

ANDY,
I'm going to do the same thing with my glovebox door. I have always really admired the dash bezel,black insert and chrome outer but I always thought it looked off center having the glove box door painted on the edge and the chrome on the dash bezel. So now I'll paint the insert "wrinkle black" and I tore the heck up out of the center portion of my dash, (I hate ash trays and I like cd players) so I made a aluminum piece like the dash bezel and glove box door but upside down. Now I'll paint that wrinkle black also and everything will match>>>>>>>>> IN MY EYES ANYWAY.. and those are the only ones that count to me hehehe.

mikep · 08-26-2002, 02:03 AM

Theres a chrome shop near my house I'm going to stop by this week and see how much they want to chrome a glovebox door and ashtray. Anyone else interested? I may be able to get a good deal in quantity.

Old Paint · 08-26-2002, 11:00 AM

Hey Andy that was me that gave you the glovebox door at Hucks.I think you were dazed and confused from the long drive.BTW did you get the rust out ,or at least get it to stop sliding around?:

ibjoker69 · 08-26-2002, 11:25 AM

Are you guys crazy? If you paint the inside of the chome glove box door you wont be able to see up the skirt of the girl ridding with you. And, that after all is why the very first one got chromed in the first place. So, don't waist the paint and enjoy the benifits as they come. Ladies I'm just kiddin if you read this. Joker69

**BIG ORANGE** · 08-26-2002, 12:12 PM

Big Orange has the chrome ash tray and glove box door on her,the both have black vinyl material in the center of them to match the instrument bezel making everything look the same all the way across the dash. She get's alot of comment's on her dash and has won 3 best interior's in major chevy show's.Kingparts mite have the chrome glovebox doors,not sure.

Sorry bout that man...I suffer teribly from CRS. (can't remember sh!t)
Actually, I slapped that thing on the GMC and haven't even thought about the rust, it's not like there is a glove BOX in there...it is just a door to access my header controls!
mikep...I am interested, but probably won't be able to participate. Can you give me a holler on a quite for an ashtray? I could have mine sand blasted before sending it to you...

RON WOODGEARD · 08-26-2002, 07:59 PM

The last time I checked,( about a year ago) KING PARTS did NOT have one! they did have a stainless insert (which I bought and never used)

BIG ORANGE,

Where did you get the VINYL material to match the dash bezel??

Dean23 · 08-26-2002, 09:31 PM

Looks great, I was thinking of getting mine chromed when the time comes. And what is wrong with a chromed cowl, I think it looks good especially bejhind a cowl induction hood

mikep · 08-26-2002, 10:03 PM

I saw one a few months back. It was on a rusted hulk of a '67. It had seen better days but it was an intriguing idea. I'll ask at the chromer how much just for the hell of it.

BTW this is how my first marriage got started. Her dad owned a chrome shop and I sold my soul for chrome! I would not want to be 20 again!

Blue_71 · 08-26-2002, 11:01 PM

i know andy but i had to

hhehe

Duner97 · 08-27-2002, 02:34 AM

Big Orange, I'd love to see a pic of your dash. do you have one you can post, or e mail to me?
