Upper Glove Box Install with Pictures
 

After some reading from a few sources, I found the parts to replace the empty bin in the ST trucks with the upper glove box. It only consists of three parts and some fasteners. I purchased the parts from Steve White Parts. The cost was right at $175 with shipping. The only tools needed is a ratchet with a 6 inch extension and a 7mm socket.

Way to stick it to the man. That's my kind of upgrade. :thumbsup:

And just like that......




STICKY!

Now, why don't they just put it in the BLASTED TRUCK in the first place. Boy, they really frost my flakes!!!!!!!

That's awesome! I wonder if I can do that to my 2013? I've been looking at that open hole with safety glasses, laser temp gun and other stuff wishing I could make them disappear and not fall out. Might have to check into this upgrade!

Do you know what years this will actually fit?

Nice mod....but after visiting steve whites site....how did you find the needed parts diagrams?...i am looking for the rear seat fold out cargo tray..

Found a anternative site with diagrams...the price is not for the faint of heart... nearly $300 for 2 pieces of plastic and a metal plate..no thanks

$198-$218 depending on the color and year model.
