Glove box

[jag7720]

I am in need of a glove box with the plastic hinge still in tact or a solution to fix mine.

Mine is still functional but I only have about two inches left of the "hinge"

You can get a new plastis part from Chevy. they are around 60.00 also LMC trucks should have them .

Or, you can do what I did. Mine was broken at the hinge as well. I went to Lowe's and got a 30" piece of piano hinge (labeled "continuous hinge". I cut it down to size, then riveted one side to the plastic of the glove box, then used sheet metal screws to attach it to the dash. All told, I think it cost me about $10. And, I guarantee its never going to break... I'll go take some pictures of it and post them up.

Here's a link to the hinge I bought. I found it in the cabinetry section.

Here's the pics. I used 3/16"s short rivets to hold the hinge to the plastic. You could use screws or small bolts/nuts, but rivets are neater and much harder to pull through.

I did a hurried repair on a couple trucks over the years. I attach a piece of latigo leather for the hinge. Works good.
