Is there a trick for installing the glovebox cardboard after the heater is installed?

Depending on your heater, it's about impossible. If you take off the defroster vent and hose, it helps.

I remember having great difficulty as well with the Magic Air heater in the way.
I copyrighted more than a few cuss words during the assembly of that truck, and the glove box was one. But it did go one eventually and has stayed put since. I keep a lot of stuff in there, hold the weight OK.

p.s. I plan to publish my new and exciting list of cusswords soon . But I just started on a '49 project, will be working mostly outside in the weather and will no doubt add a few more to the dictionary. Send your orders in now for a signed first-edition copy.
