glovebox key, knob...help...

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....

Re: glovebox key, knob...help...

http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/sm...?topic=15274.0
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

Re: glovebox key, knob...help...

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