    WTB: Glove box locking mechanism for 79

    So we got the engine issues resolved thnx to you guys and now it's time to fix the aesthetics in the car.

    We are looking for the whole glovebox lid or just the locking/closing mechanism for my kid's 79. When he got it it was missing. The glovebox is just hanging there looks totally ghetto....so hopefully somebody got a spare?????

    Thnx in advance

    If you do not find someone with a spare, new ones can be ordered for about $16- $18. I just did a search with the OEM # 51161817651.

    Need the whole enchilada.... He has nothing in that space where the lock or latch go. Have you ever try buying a few new not in stock or allegedly in stock items, that make up one unit? Haha. I have... Never again ...

    Thats why I was asking for a complete unit ya know???

    Plus it would be more like part# 51161848873

    Good Spot brother...if no one chimes in I'll have to look into this for sure...at least it's a great plan B!
