Bryndalfly Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 My brother and I are restoring a 1937 Dodge MD20 1 ton and cannot figure out the correct way to install the glove box door hinge. By looking at the springs it seems they should go a certain way but we aren't sure which way. We tried them both ways and the door does not stay closed and that tells me something is a miss with the spring set up. Any comments or better yet pictures we be greatly appreciated.

Jerry Roberts Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Here is a photo of mine . I made a home-made glove box liner out of 1/4 " plywood so disregard that . ( 1941 Plymouth truck ) I can't see any cut outs in your photo , perhaps that is the problem . You might have to make the really big ugly holes like you see in my photo ( the cut-outs like Ed mentioned ).

Bryndalfly Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Thanks guys, you are correct we did not have the glove box liner in place. I get the jist of it now, but is it possible for someone to get me a picture from under the dash so I can understand where these springs actually go when the door is closed. Also do you know which way these springs go in as they are not an actual semi-circle so it seems they should orientate a certain way.
