Did the 1973-74 gauge cluster come with woodgrain surface ?
Mine is the standar brown blackish plastic and there is no woodgrain in the original brochures.
1973 23' # 1848 Sky Blue Glacier called Baby Blue and a 1973 26'-3 # 1460 Parrot green Seqouia Known as the Big Green,
And sold my 1973 26'-2 # 581 White Canyon lands under the name Dobbelt trøbbel
in Norway

SIR; IIRC the 73s & 74s were dark starting in 75 they went to wood grain. I believe on the GMC outfitted coaches the wood grain was vertical and the transmodes were horizontal.

Just an FYI, my 74 Eleganza SE had the chrome edged, wood
grain panel.

And that is just what made me unsure about it, Look at the picture from Tony's -73 that he is going to part out, ofcourse not sure if it is original but the rest of the interior seams to be.(except the front seats)

Sorry, I never really claimed I had a good memory. My 74 Glacier has a wood grain also, vertical.

G'day,
JimB told me that GMC's had horizontal wood grain and Transmodes had vertical wood grain, Avions started out as Transmodes and
Double Trouble has vertical grain. The Blue Streak has a custom dashboard.

Where does this panel mount? How does it mount? Is the back enclosed to hide the connections?
