Glove Box Door Differences

Does anyone know about when the glove box doors were changed from this configuration:




....to this type, with the arc-shaped travel limiter?:

someone I know stole the limit link

 

So it was the other way around, and the limiter type glove box doors were earlier?

My '67 has the non-limited type, but I'd assumed the limiters came later in production.

 

My 66 has the limit type lid.

 

If yours is original, Walt, that helps narrow down the approximate date of the production change. My '67 was built in August of 1966, and does not have the glove box door limiter. Its deletion was probably a cost-cutting measure by Kaiser between late ‘65 and mid- ‘66.

 

I believe so. My '56 has the limiter.

 

Yes mine is original. Bought jeep in 1970 from original owner.

 

My 71 has no limiter and is original to the JEEP.

 

My 58 has the limiter.

 

My '64 Tux had the limit bar held on with acorn shaped speed nuts.
There were also several sizes and styles of push buttons to open the glovebox, small round, large round, and "keyhole" (not neccessarily locking!). Some of the round style have a bracket bolted on for the pushbutton to attach to the door.

My 60 has the limiter and working key lock on the push button.
