I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the lock or latch the some of the 53-56 F-100's had. Not entirely certain if they were available for all those years.

 

It was only offered on the 53-55's with the deluxe or custom cab option

 

Have you seen one, I did some changes to the way my door opens and need something to hold it closed so was wondering what the original looked and operated like.

 

I have had several over the years but I do not have one at the moment and I looked on ebay and didnt find any for a 53-55 ford truck

 

Here ya go John. Sorry about the size not to savy about posting pictures from my phone to computer to here, but this should give you an idea

 

Early Chevy trucks had a pretty clean setup...
Glove Box Door Lock - 40-53 Chevy & GMC PU

 

If you are planning to MOD your Glove Box I'd love to see what you come up with. I have a custom cab 56 but no lock on the box.

 

Nothing amazing about it, used a piano hinge at the bottom of the door and made new brackets for support. Now I'm looking for a simple catch to hold it in place, doesn't have to lock. This was done because of the dash extension I made.

Thanks Bill. My wife was at the hardware store today and came home with a simple spring roller catch that will work and only cost a buck

 

I have a 53-55 glove box door lock/**** assembly if anyone is looking to buy one. I don't have the keys for the lock there fore I don't know if the lock operates.

Send me a PM if your interested. I can send a picture to your e mail or text.

I don't need one now but wouldn't mind seeing a picture to see what it looks like.

 

Dave,
Can you post a picture of the glove box. Just wondering if you can drill a hole in a regular glove box or if they were specially made for the locks. Are you going to drill yours John?

 

I don't need to with the simple catch I'm going to use.

 

Shoot me a PM with your contact info text or e mail and I will send a picture of the hole in the glove box door and the lock/****.

Dave
