Anyone Sell Metal Glovebox Liners?

Just Wondering If Anyone Sells Metal Or Aluminum Glove Box Liners For The 67-72 C10 Trucks. Thanks

With as hard as they are to get into place, I would not think a metal one would work. At least for A/C trucks.

Thought about that! Would be difficult but not impossible. Before the thoughts of the metal one, I was thinking of taking a paper one and soaking it in Fiberglass Resin.

What has stopped me is I noticed the re-pops are covered in some type of either wax or other preservative.

Any insights with this would help. I am sure lots of folks are growing tired of that un-secure paper crap.

My question is what are you trying to carry around in the glove box? Once installed properly the liners are quite rigid and capable of holding everything I have thrown in mine. Which includes a flashlight , several maps, an old phone book, fuses, spare headlight bulb, a multitool, compass, and other stuff I'm forgetting right now.

I think a plastic one that's flexible.enogh to fit in the opening. would work.

Exactly what I mean. I have my old man's S&W highway patrolman 357 which did over 100k miles in the jockey box of his 70 with a box of shells. I would remember if it had fallen out.

You can build one. I built mine with a cardboard template then cut sheet metal.

That looks nice! Obviously not completely finished yet or maybe. Panel bonding adhesive is a thought for me.

Did you engineer yours to utilize the same screw holes?

Thank you. Yes it uses the factory attachments. I made it larger than the original. Big as possible. Added steel reinforcement. The original was toasted in a fire so I had nothing to go by. Made a cardboard template then cut sheet metal.

WOW!!!
How much to make me one of those????

I coated mine with Raptor bed liner, mine was not coated just plain cardboard, sealed the seams with polyurethane caulk, then Raptor inside and out.

Much thanks for the comment. I make a lot of things for these trucks but haven't brought any to market yet. If your original glove box is out, get some poster board or cardboard (not corrugated) and start making the 4 sides until they all fit. Tape them together as you go. When you have a decent cardboard mock up, cut it at the seems so its one piece, lay it onto a sheet of metal and draw it out. Leave a little extra to fold over at the bends so you can easily rivet, or bolt together.

Thank you OregonNed. I have some other projects in the works right now or I'd pull my glove box out and make a new template. Like most of my projects, it's overbuilt but I'll never need another. I'll look at making a new template when I finish the kit I'm designing as a replacement for the in-cab fuel tank behind the seat. That's a pretty cool kit too.
