glove box on a 2A?

Hey everyone,
Does anyone know if a '48 2A would've come with a glove box? I've got 2 screw holes on my dash spaced enough apart for what looks like a glove box.

No a cj2a would not have a glove box. the only flatfenders to have them where the gpw/mb, and the m38

 

No, there was a data plate where you would think a glove box would go on 2A's. Glove boxes would only be an option on military tubs until the CJ5 came along.

 

Here is a picture of an original 48 CJ2a dash: http://48cj2a.com/images/dash.jpg

here is one I made for the dash map: http://48cj2a.com/dashmap.htm

 

Great! Thanks for the pictures. My dash has been a bit molested over the years and I've been trying to correct it!

Got a few questions though...

What's the difference between the choke and the throttle? Aren't they both hooked up to the same place off the carb?

Is the dash lamp just a light that lights up the floor pan? And it was only on the driver's side?

Also, that governor t-handle, how does that operate the governor? What kind of governor do you have to get in order to get that?

I also noticed 2 buttons on the floor near the gas peddle. The larger one starts the jeep right? What does the smaller dimmer-switch like button do? (On my '57 CJ-5 it just has the dimmer switch to start the jeep--is this the same?)

Hey thanks for putting up with my questions... I know there's kind of a bunch!


Thanks again,
Evan

Also, that governor t-handle, how does that operate the governor? What kind of governor do you have to get in order to get that? (I have a NOVI and you can see the linkage in the picture) http://48cj2a.com/images/Engine_Roadside.JPG

(On my '57 CJ-5 it just has the dimmer switch to start the jeep--is this the same?) (The one high up on the hump is the starter switch, the other on the hump cover upper corner is a heel rest when starting the Jeep)

 

Ahh, it makes sense now!
Thanks again!
