1967 Interior Eexpert Help Needed!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

In 1967 there were trucks with glove box doors with a textured surface on them.

I was led to believe that the texture was the same grain that is on the gauge cluster trim panel.

Is this true or is it just a pebble like texture on the glove box and does not match the gauge cluster trim.

Thanks for any insight you can give!

To the best of my knowledge All '67's had the textured GB doors from the factory. Let's say It's suppose to match, somewhat. And it does but it doesn't. All of them I have had looked like a finer texture than the cluster.

The texture doesn't quite match because the plastic gauge panel had the texture molded onto the surface, then painted India Black with Fawn/Silver edges at the factory. The Glove box doors got a textured paint [with the texture inside the paint like krinkle black] sprayed on also. Because they were different formulas, they age differently.
You would not have noticed it back in 1967.
