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.

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?
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?
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
