glovebox key, knob...help...

[tommie]

i need a glovebox key/knob handle...or whatever it is called....for my 75

if i go to the junkyard, do i just have to look 73-80? or will it fit from other years/other vehicles?

how do you remove this part?

is this sold anywhere new?

i have a few of the pieces, but not all of them..

i really just want my glovebox to close....

i made a how to here:

and they all interchange... if you dont have a key for the lock, thats gona make it difficult to remove without breaking it...
if its the kind with a small hole in the middle all you needs a paperclip
clint

What kind of hinges do they use?
Mine closes alright, it just doesn't like to "swing" without falling into your lap.

it is hinged on the bottom, and the liner keeps it from falling all of the way down...
