glove box blues *pics

[lofat]

ok, so woo hoo my stuff came in. (had to get that out of the way)
funny how you are able to quantify dollars for stuff.

one of my new things is as you can guess by the title a glove box, well, an inner glove box. with that came an odd problem. pics and text below:

here we have my new inner dash with the sticker that says 73-87 w/ air. i bought this one because i have a 77 with air. see? i'm a smart monkey... or so i thought.


here is my current box. heh, box. as you can see, needs to be replaced. looking over to the right you can see where i am going to have problems. it gets dark, so use the box latch as the reference. somethin' ain't right.


matching it up, it definitely ain't right. hey WTF is that black metal plate? is it stock? i dunno, i imagine so. behind it is some factory looking a/c looking shiz.


ok, so here is a better look at the black sheetmetal thing and offers a peek at the thing behind it. oh btw, if i am getting too technical for anyone let me know.


a bonus peek behind the mystery entrenched black sheetmetal thing. couldn't get the best angle, but still.


so what am i missing? i think i ordered the right part, for my factory AC 77 p/u.

as always all help is appreciated
