55-59 Glove box delete plate...
Well as everyone knows the factory cardboard glove boxes suck and I'm NOT a fan of cutting up good dashes! So since Ive had my truck I've always had the radio in the glove box, mounted in some sort of wood I could find when I was 16. Well since I have been building the truck again I am going a different direction (not a different place!). I am working on fabing up a delete plate to mount the radio in the glove box. It will inset aprox 1" to give room for a face plate, etc. I will have better pictures later, this is only in the beginning stages. I will be taking this templet to the machine shop later for for a metal replacement and testfit
![]() Would anybody be interested in something like this? I am hoping to get a few done for around $30-$35 a piece including the bent mounting tabs. Let me know what you think ![]() ![]() ![]() |

This one. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/VTA-49111-VUI
is pretty shallow as I recall, it was only about an inch deep, but I lost it when redoing the interior. It came with the VA AC kit. Heavy hard plastic, so it would work to mount a radio in.

No much interest in this, either way I will continue to update this thread and show the final results. Here are a few more pictures of how it will install.

vintage air make a plastic one, 2'' deep, to replace the cardboard box, when the va unit takes up that space
