The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors 51 Glove Box Door Color

I searched this site, more confused than before. Were the recessed bars painted the interior color and the raised ones polished or painted? Also, are the inside of the doors the exterior color or interior. My 3104 will be a semi-retired working girl, but I'd like to keep her close to original. Thanks, John

The doors (and jambs) should be interior color (champagne) to the bend which is visible from outside. The glove box doors on the 1947-1949 trucks were stainless and the 1950-1953 had painted glove box doors. The paint scheme was a variation on the interior champagne with the recessed bars slightly darker and the raised bars lighter. The reproduction glove box doors appear to have the colors about correct.

Thanks Don. I thought that was the scheme, just wasn't sure. Every time I search something I end up going down side roads on other things that catch my eye. I wonder if this happens to other people, or do I have a case of ADD!! John
