What a chore this has turned out to be. Trying to locate a push button for the glove box door on my P10 Coupe. I have called everyone that has an ad that I've seen and have hit a deadend. Does anyone out there in Plymouth land know of a '40 parts car that might have the button. I bought a new tumbler and key, hoping it would work, but it didn't.
I've attached a picture of what I have. The button only assembly will not accommodate the new tumbler.
So..! Either a button only or a lock housing would work for me.
Thank you in advance.. Buddy...
I have a new old stock lock assembly for a '39 Plym P8, it looks very similar to the one shown in your picture. I have a '36/46 parts book, I will check the application and get back to you....Bill
This is what this club is all about, Members helping Members!
I checked my old Mopar parts book for the glove box lock applications....
37-39 Plymouth P7-P8 G.Bx lck part number is.... 798636 This is the part assy I have.
40 Plymouth P9-P10 G. Bx lck part number is.. 876298
Looking in the parts book shows that the parts are completely different... It also looks like the '40 Plym lck assy is a one year, 1940 item..
