Glove box differences AD
I see that the cardboard glove boxes sold list a box for 47-49 and then 50-53, what the heck would be the difference?

Re: Glove box differences AD
New one on me Searching shows that the 47/49 has square corners while the 50/53 has rounder corners.

Re: Glove box differences AD
It looks like they mount a bit different too. 12.95 for either one from Classic parts. Should be the same from any of the truck trinket vendors.

Re: Glove box differences AD
I wonder how the heck they are really different other than looks, they both mount to the same dash, huh?
They are confusing me now! LOL Brian

Re: Glove box differences AD
Having never actually had one of these cardboard glove boxes, do they hold up ok?
Or should a guy design something out of metal before his dash is painted? |

Re: Glove box differences AD
I had a metal one for years, one problem with the cardboard one is it doesn't nearly as deep as it could be. So you could add another 50% of space by making one.

Re: Glove box differences AD
I cut the dash out of the one 49 cab I have to send to someone Not sure if I have the glove box side or not to look at and compare with the 51 cab a few feet away.

Also the 47-49 uses a different glove box door hinge than the 50-53 . The repo guys all sell the 50-53 style hinges saying one size fits all . They do not! Wonder how many frustated buyers pulled their hair out over the years. Thanks |

Re: Glove box differences AD
OMG that sounds interesting! I have hinges, including ones I chromed. I think I do remember seeing that retainer, a strip of metal about a half inch wide that went all the way around the opening with a little gap at the top where the striker is, does that sound about right?
The dash is the same though right? I believe my hinges I have are 50-53 as that is what the cab was I got them from. This cab, not so sure but I think it's a 50. Brian

Re: Glove box differences AD
Ok Paul, is this the early cab or the late? The door striker tells me it's early, am I right? How about the dash where the glove box door hinge mounts, early or late?

Re: Glove box differences AD
You have the late style cab . Order the late style glove box . You will not use the metal retainer.
Thanks |

Re: Glove box differences AD
I spray painted the out side to the cardboard box on mine to give it a little more moisture proofing. Seems to work on inside of door and roof panels as well.
