Glove box lock??
#2
I had the glove box lock fail on my '68 4-4-2 convertible. The way I got to it was to reach around under the dash to the back side. The actual box itself has an opening up by the latch. I was able to use a small screwdriver to depress the latch and open the glove box.
The reason my lock failed was because of the cast iron assembly on the backside of the glove box door that holds the lock cylinder. There is a spring-loaded cast iron lever inside of that piece and it broke. Fortunately, I had a spare backside assembly and I simply replaced the old, broken backside assembly with my spare.
Good luck with opening your glove box door. It takes a little patience and possibly a long arm!

I messed for hours with it, noticed the bexel screw was loose enough to un screw did that and it opened. The spring lever is broken, looking for a new latch, the tmbler is still in good shape. Thanks for all the help.
