I did search for this but, after looking at many posts I'll just ask: can someone post a pic of the glove box hinges (installed) for BB truck ?

Thanks

Tom

 

Sure. This is off a 51 (EB), and it's a single piece hinge:





Note that the hinge is bolted to the lower lip of the dash with the cardboard glove box liner in between the hinge and the dash.

Also, my mounting screws on the door itself a oversized!

Curved "tab" object on the right in the upper photo (and left below) is the spring.

 

Grade 8 nut on one of the bolts, huh?

 

1951 f1 two part hinge.

 

Tom,

Here's a side shot;

Whatever was in the coffee can at the time! LOL

Two part? Single Assembly! It's all fastened together. Looks like yours was cut in the inside middle if I'm looking at the picture right. Folks will do that if they have trouble with door alignment - it give you a little more flexibility.

 

Naw, it’s one piece …………..just the goofy stupid old bugger having a senior moment, ………seems to becoming more common each passing week.

 

Gray moment and all

Thx

 

I am having the same issue at the moment.The spring doesn't stay on at all. I have two different springs but nothing seems to work.

 

All the way back to "Julie" days, scary.

My spring has long since been installed ; and has not come off since. Not sure why you are having trouble with yours coming off; other than my spring looks slightly different than what you have:





I took this picture of mine this morning , as I have been driving the truck until it snows again.

 

Where did you get your spring from? I can get them both on but as soon as I open the glove box they fly off.

 

I am having the exact same issue with my spring.

 

The original spring is the one I installed. I bought an extra one for future at a local supplier. Don't know if any of the after market houses carry them or not. Also try web search.

DC has them 4.95

 

I checked there and it is exactly like the one on the right. tip49 would you be willing to grab me 2 or ? Or give me the name of the supplier as all I can find is the one on the right

Thanks
