Inside Of Glovebox?
 

Due to a previous post about painting a glovebox, I was wondering a few things about my glovebox:
1. Did every 67-72 come with a Cardboard glovebox?
2. Did any 67-72 even come with a Cardboard glovebox? lol
3. If 1 is correct, what has anyone used to change that?

I should clarify that it is not actually cardboard, it is Paperboard I guess..
Sorry for the nooby question, I was just curious.

yeah im pretty sure they all came with gloveboxes? lol yeah you can buy new replacements that fit great for around $10

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

.. oKay lol umm..

jw, Mine has a gigantic rip in it :lol: i used to to run wires for a cheap radio and a dixie horn controller :metal:

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

oo yeah mine was pretty well destroyed when i got it...i got a replacement for christmas last year =0 it was kinda hard to get in there but i think it would be easier with a non ac truck though

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

I made one out of thin sheet metal on my longhorn

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

I put one in my '68, as there was none when I bought it. It was kinda hard to get in there but it worked out great. I bought it from LMC though.... I hate the way they pack stuff. Full of those foam peanuts that go everywhere when you rip open the box

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

Your making one for mine right Andy? :lol:

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

i made a metal one for mine

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

There would be a market for these...

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

i made a metal one for the one in my s10, it wasnt to hard at all, about an afternoons worth of work. If you are confused or curious, check the link in my sig, its stil a work in progress

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

i got my from obsolete chevy parts from GA but thinking about having one made out of somthing

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

Just was curious, ill most likely make one outa sheet metal when the time comes, i just found it odd that the glove box on these entirely metal trucks were paperboard :smoke:

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

that was common back in the day.
If you make a liner out of sheet metal, you'll want a rubber mat, or even carpet. The junk rattling will drive you NUTS

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

Good point, didn't think of that, maybe a spray on be liner? also would possibly stop the rolling around? just a thought

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

I used some 1/16th inch or so rubber from work, and it does great... wouldn't know where to send you to get it though.

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

when I bought my truck, it had a plastic one in it. not sure where uts from though

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

wow... i've been wishing the aftermarket would make those for about 12 years now.

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

You can get the no-slip rubber mats for shelves and such from walmart and ikea. great stuff. Comes in food wide rolls, not sure how long they are though.

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

good idea, i think im following what your suggesting, the stuff you lay down in drawers in cabinets and all that comes in rolls? if not, that would probably work too

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

LMC or ChevyDuty used to sell plastic replacements. I haven't seen them in a few years, but I haven't been looking either.

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

Mine came to me in Cardboard, with a steel floor....which bears a striking resemblance to a California black and yellow plate.

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

So, why not use some old license plates to make it? It would be different, and automotive-related.

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

Haha, that would be original
actually, jut think of having a '68 MO plate on the bottom, with regular sheet metal all around as the rest... that would be pretty cool

Re: Inside Of Glovebox?
 

I've been thinking of reinforcing the bottom of my glove box with a piece of sheet metal or aluminum then glue it either on the inside or the ouside. From what I've seen the bottom is where they bow or get messed up.

Any pics of custom glove boxes?
