I need a spring
When i had a guy install my a/c he took out the glove box & when
i went back to pick up the truck he ran a piece of string around one
of the defroster screws on the dash to hold the glove box shut
he said that he lost the spring that holds it shut !! Does anyone out there
just might have one & if so would you sell it? thanks Bob

The one on my 54 (looks like different design) snapped closed on my finger and hurt like the dickens. Just the hinge itself. It is a spring that cams when you open it a certain distance. But once you close it a certain distance it can slam closed. At least that is how mine works. Be nice if you guys could come up with a similar design.

The PO of my truck used a small piece of velcro on mine. Seems to work well and you can't see it unless the glove box is open.
