update on the plastic glovebox - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jb4short · 05-30-2007, 12:42 PM

Here's the drawings back from the manufacturer- as soon as I verify the measurements we'll go ahead and cut a tool. Where these are poly we should be able to adapt a drain for icewater to drain from....

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 05-30-2007, 02:22 PM

they will be for sale as soon as I sign off on the measurements and allow time for tooling development, production and shipping. Looks like they'll be between 22-25 dollars ea.

black...the colors are just easier for the cad program

mvfd70 · 05-30-2007, 07:27 PM

Sounds like a reasonable price. I'll probably order one.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 05-30-2007, 07:37 PM

Something nobody has addressed here. What about the clips that the screws that hold it in place? The cardboard boxes have little metal clips that you screw into. They are pushed through the cardboard and tabs folded over. ??????????? WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

**Classic Heartbeat** · 05-30-2007, 07:41 PM

Another question.... Will these be flexible enough to push through the glove box opening? That is the only way that they can be mounted. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

The clip and screws will be with the box and work the same way as on the cardboard one. The PP material can be made to be as flexible as necessary....think of a late model bumper cover, same material

lamar · 05-30-2007, 10:14 PM

Great idea!!!!!!!!!!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 05-30-2007, 10:39 PM

Cool, Can't wait to try one out. WES

msgross · 05-30-2007, 10:47 PM

How wide is that "bump out" in the A/C one? I don't have A/C but would like to mount a DIN stereo and air gauges in that area. It would be hidden with the door closed.... Thanks..

edit: hope you don't mind me using your pic, just wanted to address the area in question. width and height will work.

krue · 05-30-2007, 11:36 PM

Looks like an idea whose time has come!

02_GMC_97_FIII · 05-30-2007, 11:49 PM

Very cool, recently picked up a cardboard one though. Sure the first time I attempt to pull it out it'll rip. This will be the next.

Chevy_Man · 05-31-2007, 02:35 AM

cooollll i am ready for one or two....

It's definately not wide enough for a head unit but it would hold a couple gauges as long as you plated the backside so that the poly isn't supporting all the weight and pressure of the mount tabs.

tracterman2 · 05-31-2007, 07:48 PM

Sign me up for a non/ac for a 1970 c/10 when you get them here....I just got done tearing mine up and would MUCH rather have a plastic one than a cardboard one...lol....great idea!!
