Re: 1972 Super Glove box door QUESTION
interesting. then it really is looking like there simply is no reason why either the glove box or a/c side vents were painted whatever color. I certainly feel a painted glovebox looks far better than the black; that just looks unfinished, IMO

Re: 1972 Super Glove box door QUESTION
Another thing I've noticed is that I've only seen black gb doors on ochre, orange, or "maybe" red trucks. Haven't seen it on any others, regardless of plant. In the two pics I posted above, I don't know if the first pic with black door is red or hugger orange. The 2nd pic with red door is indeed a 514 red primary color truck - my all time favorite swb big block bucket am/fm Super on the planet, sameyrasmea's...

Here are a couple examples of black cheyenne super doors on non orange and red trucks. First is a grape whine/yellow and white K20 I've been trying to buy for years. The guy just wants too much for it. The 2nd is my 72 GMC in medium olive.

Re: 1972 Super Glove box door QUESTION
Here is the Janesville one. I bought this truck already parted out and some one used the cab for repair panels. I've been saving it to build a short bed truck out of. I was just going to cut the roof off the cab but I might fix this one.
To note, all of these did have Parchment interior. I'm strongly leaning to it has something to do with that. At one point I thought it was a special ordered thing but this Janesville truck, or the St. Louis truck above doesn't have a special order number on the SPID.

Re: 1972 Super Glove box door QUESTION
I think 402Bowtie may be onto something. Parchment interior alone doesn't get you a black gb door - but parchment interior at St Louis seems to consistently result in a black gb door.

Re: 1972 Super Glove box door QUESTION
St Louis did paint trucks a little different at least for 72. The door latches were painted unlike other plants. Highlander Blazers had white interior paint added to the wheel wells and step face and all K5s got white rear top to bedside brackets (whereas Flint painted these body color).

Re: 1972 Super Glove box door QUESTION
I have a '71 GMC Jimmy out of St Louis with CUSTOM trim level. My glovebox door is body color, but I'll have to check what color it was before it got repainted.
Originally 522 Medium Bronze truck. Repainted by a PO in ''Maui Blue.'' Which is not a standard truck color. It's a medium metallic blue. [EDIT] I was able to edit in my SPID. PO's paintshop was smart enough to at least mask off the SPID, but I can't make out any contrasting-color glovebox paint job. My impression is that Jimmys were treated just like Blazers until the Radiator wall w/4 lamp buckets and all the badges went on. I have heard the St Louis plant made ALL K/5s from 1969 thru 1971, [and K/1500 Jimmys from 1970 on --] until MY 1972, when Flint also got into the act. ![]()

Re: 1972 Super Glove box door QUESTION
It’s typical but not uniform that GMCs received contrasting paint on the glovebox door. My original paint Flint k1500 72 however received the same dark olive poly as the remainder of the interior.
