Dodge 1936 Glow box

Hi!

I think I am missing some part inside the glove box. I think it should be something between the bolts, see the picture. Anyone knowing what's missing and the purpose of those?

I believe you are missing the return springs.

[Magnus]

Any idea how they looks like?

If you are thinking there should be a piece of trim to fill the space when the door open, I would think not.  I do not recall ever swing a filler on a glove box door and the box it self even in high priced cars.

Got a picture of one removed? Those look very similar to dodge truck ones on my 46-47s.

Would this be how they are looking?

similar but I don't think they are the same. look up 39-47 truck springs on roberts or DCM truck parts

Those appear to be the correct spring. There are two for the passenger side glove box and one for the driver side glove box. My Canadian parts book shows the numbers for the springs are, #714583,for the passenger side glove box and #723123 for the driver side glove box - different part numbers, although to me the springs themselves look the same. The 1936 DeSoto, Dodge and Plymouth use the same springs. I took these two photos of my 1936 DeSoto glove boxes.
