Custom glove boxes?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dubie · 02-06-2003, 11:12 AM

Any of you ever remove the actual glove box and put something custom in there like your stereo or switches or shelves etc.... and do you have any pics? Just a momentary brain fart I had.

Tim, one of these days I will get around to mounting my CD player in there. Just haven't had time. I have a perfect Chrome AM radio I am putting back in the dash for a stock look.

dubie · 02-06-2003, 02:53 PM

I'm sure someone here has something cool in their glovebox

Alex Hayley · 02-06-2003, 03:41 PM

Had a friend that put an stereo equalizer in there years back. I bet you could retrofit a cooler to fit in there to hold your lunch, pop or...

gman · 02-06-2003, 03:43 PM

How 'bout this?

dubie · 02-06-2003, 04:54 PM

That's what I'm talkin bout!!! I have a custom idea for mine, but i'm gonna keep it under wraps for the time being.
Anyone else??

gman · 02-06-2003, 05:00 PM

Aaaahhhh, man........you can share with us.......we won't tell anyone!!!!!!

Earl Junior · 02-06-2003, 05:13 PM

gman- how about a little more info on that?

Dean23 · 02-06-2003, 06:11 PM

I want to do something like gman but instead of carpeted i want to use a piece of polished aluminum instead

Mountain Man · 02-06-2003, 06:12 PM

I thought I had a save pic of my glove box cd mount. It is similar to Gman's. I did find a cool bed pic though. I will see if I can snap a pic of the glove box this pm.

RON WOODGEARD · 02-06-2003, 06:36 PM

Dean23,

I'm going to guess that GMAN used another glovebox door for his. So why not get one chromed , or "David King" (king parts) here on the boards, Sells a Polished stainless insert for the front of the govebox face. I'd sell you mine, but it's packed for the move and I don't remember where.. Boy what a mess it's going to be, to get re-setup.

Dean23 · 02-06-2003, 06:40 PM

Yeah good idea ill have to do that instead of fabbing a aluminum piece up.

Longhorn Man · 02-07-2003, 12:40 AM

Here's what i keep in mine...does that count?

Lippyp · 02-07-2003, 06:13 AM

That stereo install looks very neat and professional but it seems a shame to waste all that storage space just to fit a stereo in. Has anybody subdivided a glove box up into more useful storage copmpartments. I have everything just chucked in and you have to spend five minutes scuffling about to find what you're looking for. Any split level gloveboxes out there, you could fit a stereo and still have a lot of space, more than most modern cars. My wifes 2002 Jeep Cherokee (Liberty to you guys) certainly justifies the name glove-box, a pair of gloves and a pack of gum and it's full!

Andy, you might want to give Orkin a call.

gman · 02-07-2003, 10:51 AM

Folks,

Sorry, I don't have anymore info on it.......I got the idea off a truck that was for sale on EBAY last month. Added it to my "to do" file of things for the truck. Wish I could've been of more help. Sure gives me some ideas though.

Ah, the rare "head of a small child in the glovebox" option.
