cardboard glovebox replacement

[tom'sB2B]

I'm looking to replace my glovebox. The glovebox was gone when I bought the truck. I've seen several different ones for sale on ebay. Has anyone bought these or maybe from Robert's, ect?

Does anyone have thoughts or experiences in installing one, proper hardware needed and which ones fit well?

thanks

I got mine from Roberts. It needed a little trimming and make sure you save your old fasteners if you had them.

Here's some more info.

I did not care for Roberts, once it gets humid outside they warp in every direction. I made my second one out 1/4" plywood and sprayed a clear coat finish on it. It works perfect.

That's what I'd read. I painted mine inside and out with rubberized undercoating.

I thought that I was the only one to make a glove box out of 1/4 inch plywood . I painted mine with black brush on paint . It can't be seen , even with the glove box door open , as there is stuff in there . Works well .

When we restored my first b1b in 1980 I built a glovebox out of plywood, lined the outside with 1/2" foam and the inside with "shag" carpet. It worked great for a built in beer cooler. I could stand 25 cans of beer on end in the cooler/glovebox. That cooler went through many beers all through high school.

I'd have your buddy make you one from metal. Seems like a real no brainer if you plan to keep it forever.

I recently purchased a plastic trash can from the Dollar Store and trimmed it to fit my glovebox, $2.00....

I was told its a good idea to coat the outside of the cardboard products with a little lacquer to help keep them stable dimensionally. Same goes for the firewall pad.
