I have a 53 3600. And the lock on the glove box is junk. How do you remove it from the truck?
I’m stumped

Thanks for any help you guys have to offer.

There's a single screw accessible from the back of the dash (you may have to take the glovebox liner out) that holds it in place. It might be a clutch head screw, so be ready for that with the proper tool.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

I wish they made a replacement with a finger hook so I could pull it open while depressing the button. When I press the button on my ‘57 3200 I have to claw the door with something to pull it open. Otherwise, the catch grabs when button is released and before door falls open.

[img]https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...ame/16006353772755864963434449469873.jpg[/img]I bought a chrome ash tray handle from one of the vendors and adapted it to the glove box door. I had the same problem. Handle now matches the ash tray. Fits in well on the dash

Johnny, that is such a great idea. I wonder why Chevrolet didn’t think of that?

My glove box lid fits so loosely that I can grab it at the top.

Sounds like your hinges need the springs replaced. Mine is a push to close. If I push the glovebox button my glovebox door pops open, fast.
