Re: Glovebox (battsup)
I will be following this thread with interest. I want to take the innards out and put this amp in there. But I need some idea of what supporting framework must be constucted. Or maybe the amp can just be mounted under the dash on the passenger side somehow?

Re: Glovebox (battsup)
There's no way that an amp could be stuffed under the seat. I can't even get my fingers under there. As for the glovebox, i've tried removing the liner and placing a CD player, but it's not deep enough. :nonod:

Re: Glovebox (B)
You poor thing...you missed it by one year. In 1978, in the restyled interior (not really...they borrowed from 77) a glovebox was added where the map pocket had adorned the passenger's side dash since 1968. It was first appearance of the glove box since 1967.

I modified mine on my 79 to provide space for my mechanical gauges. I cut the door and made it smaller. I can't post so I will email. Dale
