I am installing my aftermarket glove box in my 1950 Chevy 1/2 ton (I always post my vehicle type to be very specific). Anyway, how does the glove box fit in? It appears you push the box all the way through the glove box opening and then allow the box to expand. Then, you bring the box toward the dash panel to allow the box to fit arround the lip of the opening. However, if one does this, how do you get the little screw clips in so you can fasten the box down with the glove box screws?

Also, I bought an aftermarket glove box light. Does anyone know where it is mounted? I don't remember taking one out when I disassembled my vehicle.

Meredith55,

From whom did you buy the glovebox light? The one I got from Brother's did not have a bracket or instructions. If yours has a bracket, I could post here or mail you instructions (Jim Carter's and Chevy Duty's had instructions).

Are the "screw clips" attached to the govebox? If so, after you "bring the box toward the dash panel to allow the box to fit arround the lip of the opening", there should be screw holes in the dash opening that line up with the clip holes. I have a '54 which has a slightly different box but it should attach in a manner similar to yours.

Could you post the instructions here? I got mine from Chevy Duty I believe and I saw no instructions but could have easily missed them in the box full of packing peanuts.
