Glove Box Return Spring Hdware - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Was wondering if anyone has or knows where I can find the glove Box return spring and hardware for a 65 GMC glove Box.

Bowtied:
Don't know of anyone that repros them. I had to find one in the junkyard. Before that, I made one by cutting and rebending the ends on the largest one of these that I could find at a hardware store. It is still in there now working well since I have not had a chance to put in the one from the junkyard.
Hope this helps.

I hadn't not seen one as a repop. That does not mean it's not out there. I would suggest making another one or searching the pick yards. It took me 2 years to find windshield SS for my truck. Good luck

Thanks for the info, have been looking for one for years. There are a lot of Chevys in Junk Yards but have not run across any GMC's, will keep looking. Thanks again..

On GMC's there is a spring under the dash that keeps the glove box door closed, There is no locking mechanism on the door like there is on chevy's.
Hope this clears it up for you.

Ok is this what you are talking about?

On my GMC I have the glove box lock which catches the tab and keeps the door closed. Can you put the lock in? You can get the catch and lock from any of the re-pop shops.

There is no lock on my door, just a knob to open and close the door but am missing the hardware - spring and bracjkets. Could not go to the pictures?
