Here is a Cheyenne Super door I had years ago. I wish I had gotten an upclose picture of the VIN, I think I sold it to a board member though so it may be around yet.

Here's an example of black glove box door on a White/Ochre/White Cheyenne Super truck.

Re: 1972 Super Glove box door QUESTION
Wonder if the black color relates to a parchment interior on trucks from certain plants such as Flint, St Louis,..?

The last picture is another truck of mine...a late-'72 St. Louis Cheyenne Super that has parchment interior and a black door. Some questions on my mind: -For trucks that weren't painted black, are there any examples of a black glovebox door for an interior other than parchment? I'm thinking you at least had to have a parchment interior to have any chance of receiving a black glovebox door. -Are there any examples of a St. Louis truck with parchment interior that doesn't have a black glovebox door? |

After looking through the definitive Cheyenne Super thread...here are some theories I have:
1) All Fremont (Z code) Cheyenne Supers had body-color glovebox doors regardless of interior color. Can anyone provide an example proving otherwise? 2) All St. Louis (S code) Cheyenne Supers with parchment interior received a black glovebox door. Can anyone prove otherwise? 3) For Flint (F code) YE9 with parchment interiors, black glovebox doors potentially became standard around March of '72...this is comparing some of the serial numbers to the build date thread. Proof otherwise? 4) All remaining factories had body-color glovebox doors regardless of interior color. Flint examples are attached. |

Here my 72 GMC Sierra Grande 2500 glove box door. Built in St. Louis and sold new in Colorado. It also has the black door with parchment trim listed. I thought it was weird that the dashpad, steering column, and wheel are also black instead of the light tan color that standard parchment trucks had. Door panels, and visors are parchment.

Re: 1972 Super Glove box door QUESTION
do you also think there's a correlation between this, and the A/C side vents? Some are body color while others are black.

don't think so - here's a black door with red vents and a black door with red vents.
|
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

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. |
