I bought the card board glove box, it's way to small. The sticker says it's for a 64 to 66. Anyway I am going to build one out of stainless steel. I feel that I can pop rivet the pieces together. Has anyone done this, any ideas would be great.

Thanks Brett

I almost did this a couple weeks ago and never got around to it. I was just going to use thin aluminum, personally.


Some of my crap:
1963 C-30 flatbed dually 292/SM420
1965 C-10 LWB fleet 250/column shift 3 speed
1965 C-30 9' stepside 250/SM420/4.10 gears (my DD)

Good idea. The cardboard one is very flimsy.

I thought if I built one out of cardboard. I could get a friend to bend it up.

Should work great, I just have lot's of thin aluminum and it's real easy to work with for stuff like this. I don't think you need to use stainless unless you just want to, considering the real one's made of paper and worked OK.

I tried doing this on my '66, but only got p- off trying to install it chipping paint on the dash so I just bought a cardboard one, they collapse easier, I think you have to push it in from down below, but that was along time back!

I agree that aluminum would be a better choice than stainless. But in reality the carboard is plenty strong for a "glove" box..

What you carrying in there anyways that the cardboard can't handle? big_eek
