Working on a 71 C10. I read Tim mentioned non-tilt columns should be gloss, my 71 would agree. Interesting non-tilt Vs tilt aren't the same sheen. My Super (Tilt) might agree as well, hard to tell. So maybe I'm really asking about the air cleaner & Bendix booster

I think air cleaners were gloss? just seeking to confirm. As for the Bendix, I would have guessed semi-gloss but man this looks gloss to me. It's an NOS, though I believe it's more an old GM replacement part.
