No tilt, nor is tilt specified on the spid.

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

Sound like you already have heard it but the Repro wood grain stuff from LMC and Classic is Junk! I cleaned, prepped everythin with denatured alcohol and it still peeled up in the corners in a week or two! Complete KAKA!

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

100gold, what did Gary say? I have tried to email him before and it usually is short messages and not really the answer I was looking for. What did he say about the parts if you don't mind me asking?

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

Trevor,
First, there's no more of the 254 available,period. Him and a friend bought the last of the 3 m stuff years ago. 100 yards plus. Half of it is in Mo.

I'm sending him my glove box door and door inserts. He's sending me a dash (new) and refurbing my inserts and glove box door.

All new matching woodgrain on all 4 pieces with emblem on gbd polished and alum trim on door inserts polished and sealed.

Call me fool for what this is going to cost but we're talking about the 4 main pieces on a super that MAKES the interior in my opinion.

Details, details!

Also, because he is a resto shop, even though they're using alot of after market since nos is getting rarer, they know the quality of the parts. That's huge in my opinion!

You'd do better Trevor to call and chat with him. The wife runs the 'puter.

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

well that sucks on the 254. I was just going to do it myself and save the tons of money it will cost to have done. I have a bunch of patience and knowledge on restoring a lot of things, this just would have been one more thing. Did he give you a name of his buddy with the other half of the roll? Maybe I can call Gary and he can tell me how to get some of the roll to do all of my stuff. Thanks for letting me know about the emailing thing. I wasn't getting much of any help when I tried. Trevor

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

Just looking at this thread, I have a roll of GM woodgrain tape. About 2' wide 8' long still in the tube. GM part number 325006. Not sure what it was use on, it looks a little darker the Super woodgrain. Can anyone ID it, I've tried ...

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

Hey David, do you have a pic of that woodgrain? I think the putting pics up on the board are screwed up right now, but if you can, post some pics and I will try and help you figure out what it is. Trevor

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

I'm in the sign business and it might be possible to create a file that could cut the bezel and glove box door piece on a sign making plotter (cuts with a knife....like vinyl letters). I would need a piece of the material to test and would need to create the file in our drawing application. I have all three pieces coming from the Truck Shop in the next few days so I could definately get close to the proper dimensions, etc. Let me know your thoughts and if you want me to pursue it, will be glad to.

Joel

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

Zoomin' that has got to be the first non-tilt column I have seen that came black with another color interior. I thought all non-tilts were painted interior color, so this destroys the whole tilt column/non tilt column black paint idea into a loop.

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

I really didn't think anything was odd about having the black dash pad, steering column and glove box until I saw your pic with the dash color and glove box being the same. I'm pretty certain my truck is original in this regard - it still has the factory jack, spare tire, protecto-plate, etc.

Interesting...

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

One possibilty: I don't know much about these trucks since this is my first one, but big block Camaros in 69 were identifed by a black taillight panel (COPO's excepted). My truck has the 400 in it.

Would you go ahead and post a pic of this? I'd like to see what options are in common with this one.

It must just be because the interior is parchment. I'm trying to think if I've ever seen a parchment column and wheel??

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

Chris, usually if a truck had parchment interior and didn't have a tilt steering column, (the dash pad, carpet, and steering column) would be Sandalwood (a light tan-ish color. Now if the truck a tilt steering wheel, the steering column, dash pad, and carpet would be black. My only guess on Zoomin's truck is that it is a Cheyenne Super from a certain plant that typically just painted all of their glovebox doors black regardless of interior color, and thus matched up the dash pad, column, and carpet around that. I don't think it would have to do with your truck having the 402 in it. I am thinking more towards the lines of how different assembly plants did things. Like on a 70' Chevelle, you can find a build sheet typically in the same place, if it was made a certain plant. Some were under the rear seat, below the front drivers carpet, above the gas tank, behind door panels. It is typically found in the same places because that's how they did it at that plant, or how the shift worker did things. Many SS 454 70' Chevelles were made with Malibu door panel emblems instead of the designated SS ones, mine included. This was do to a strike at GM in 70' and it has been proved that many of the cars after the strike that were built, left the factory with Malibu door panel emblems because a shortage of emblems cast due to the strike. Much like these examples, I believe it was just a certain plant more than likely that did such thing to get them out the door quicker. Trevor

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

Ok, I'll jump into this.

My truck is a parchment interior CS that came without a tilt wheel. It has since been added. The original column was black. It matched the dash pad, armrests,carpet, and glove box trim.

I think that the issue here revolves around what color the exterior was. An ochre truck would be sandalwood and a black truck would have been black interior trim with the same parchment interior option.

Does any of that make sense?

You can look at some interior pics and the spid of my truck at my biuld thread if interested. ( Worth Restoring-Dad's old truck)

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

100gold, I don't think that is the issue. Like I said above, I have an extra Cheyenne Super original woodgrain glovebox door and it is and always been black, but on the spid, it says the truck was Ochre/white/ochre. I still think it has to do with what assembly plant that the truck was assembled at.

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

I have a 72 Chevy Cheyenne Super 4X4 and it came factory with a blue dash pad, blue steering wheel, blue door pannels, blue carpet and a/c vents, and blue buckets. It has a black tilt too. All the rest of the truck is white in and out. If that helps with your quest...

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

Well, as I left off, I shipped my wood grain parts down to Abilene and had them restored. These are some pics of what I got back with a few extras.

I also shipped my emblems and hvac control plate as you can see. All of it is just fantastic! This is a prime example of getting what you pay for. I could not be happier!

Re: Wood in a 72 Cheyenne Super

These look fantastic. Are the door panels, gauge cluster and glove box door new woodgrain or ??? Could you post the contact info for this company? Would you mind sharing what you paid to have the door panels, gauge cluster and glove box door done? Thanks.
