Gmc glove box knob

[bigmoe]

I'm reassembling my 65 GMC and can't for the life of me find the glove box knob. Does anyone know if they're reproduced?

Dont believe they are.

I do not know either, but could you post a picture of the striker plate inside the glove box please?

Thanks

My truck is tucked away for the winter. Hope to bring it home in a few weeks. Maybe someone else can help. I don’t think my gmc has a latch for the glovebox though.

My 1965 does not. It just closes flush against the dash.

Also, the knob is not reproduced.

Thanks, what holds it shut?

It has a long tight two-way hinge along the bottom of the door that "snaps" it shut if that makes sense. It's either fully closed and vertical or fully open and horizontal. My truck has been in the family since 1980 (I was 5) and never once has it fallen down.
