Does anyone here know what the part number is for the glove box lock on a 1952 F1. I have a glove box with the hole for it but no lock and would like to find one that will fit. Also would it be a part that would work on other years or models so I could enlarge my search?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not running one on my truck, but I recall a friend of mine went to Staples or any office supply store and purchased a lock mechanism for a file cabinet or desk. I think he had to make the hole slightly larger but it worked just the same. Only problem is, you need a key to open and close it. It's either open or locked, which can be inconvenient if you need to get in there quickly.

 

They pop up on ebay from time to time. I was lucky to get an NOS one for my 52 F-3 for cheap (even has the original box and metal part number tag on the keyring). Lucky for me the guy didn't title the thing well, so it didn't show up in most normal ebay searches... Unfortunately I'm on the road right now for work, or else I'd get you the part number. Theres a pic of mine below... hehe and no its NOT for sale

 

Thanks
The picture is help enough. I too was watching one on ebay and it is cheap enough on the buy-it now but is isn't the same. I would appreciate the part number however whenever you get home and have the time.
