Wish I had my welder set up and going. Would be a good excercise to try my hand at thin sheet metal welding. I have several glove box doors but no way to weld them at the moment. $12.50 shipped if interested, guess it doesn't matter what color?

I have a door that I can weld up for you. I checked it out, and for those that like to play "The Devil's advocate", the dash bezel and the glovebox door are nearly identical in shape.

Let me know if you are interested. I would say that it would cost about $50 (door, welding, primer)...

cool all I would need now is someone to cut some holes to put the guages in. could you do that?

**John Fabris** · 06-16-2005, 03:02 PM

Sure, do you want me to install it too???

Seriously, there is a lot more to this then it seems.
Glovebox door needs a lot work to make this happen.
Stuff like the latch button hole needs to be welded up,
what type of gauges to use, where to put the gauges (like stock or custom placement), how to attach the gauges, how to cut the holes, how to make this attach to dash (visible screws, or hidden screws), and I would even consider removing the back metal layer of the door, so you don't have two layers to deal with.

I am willing to do all of this, but it would be $200-$300 to make it work, providing that you send me the gauges that you want.

I am not committing to anything as I want to finish my truck, and I will be on vacation over the next three weeks....

Anyone else wants to try this, please jump in!!
