So I'm picking away at the little problems on my '37 1/2 ton. The glove box is open but the lock is locked so it won't stay shut.
Is it possible to get a key made or what would you all do? I removed the door and am trying to remove the lock w/o wrecking
anything. It appears there is a little piece of spring steel that must be depressed but it still won't come apart.
Maybe I'll post in the swap meet forum and see if anyone has a lock and key.
Thanks
John

A locksmith can cut the key, just take the whole thing in and they get it apart. The lock will numbered, at least mine was.

So I took your advice and took the glove box door to a locksmith. He will make me a couple keys for $35.
I made more of a problem out of that than I needed to.
