help with glove box install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LT 72 Jimmy · 11-16-2002, 02:33 PM

I bought a new glove box for my 72 Jimmy. The truck has a/c. Does any one know how to get the glove box in? I can't get it to fit. It is like they are supposed to go in from the rear. Any tips will be appreciated.

Thanks,

LT

are you sure they sent you the one for a A/C truck and not a non-a/c?

Did you get one for a a/c truck? I believe the ones for a non a/c truck are different, can some assure this?

The AC boxes are shaped different at the rear but the front is still the same. I think originaly they did install these first, then the heater box. But you can slide it through the glove box opening one side at a time. Notice there are reliefs designed into the corners. Once its in... it ain't comin' out lol. You'll likely rip it to streads trying to take it back out.

The A/C glove box if looking at it from the seat it will have a indention on the left side of it for the air connections. Other than that they are the same.
When you install it it will fold up a little around the conners, but it should be alright after installed. I always install mine starting with the left side first, it just seems to go in easier.
Hope this helps.
