Plastic glove box liner
Here you go, all the pictures I promised.
This is my '71 Dart...
This is my '74 Duster. You can see that they have the exact same opening and mounting flanges. Both originally had cardboard liners (I confirmed this for my Duster).
All you really need to mount the plastic insert is some of these. The plastic liner just slides in from the front, you obviously have to remove the glove box cable.
Add the screw inserts to the mounting holes where the cardboard liner was. At least the two on the top and one on each side. You can ignore the two on the lower flange.
This is on the '71
And slide the insert in, and voila! Again, this is the '71. Nothing else needs to be done, the glove box insert sits on the lip of the glove box opening and is rigid enough to use just like this without the lower mounts attached.
Now, in the picture above you can actually see that the lower two mounts on the plastic liner line up with the holes in the lower flange, but the plastic liner is angled and the flange is flat. If you don't mind making one small modification, this is easy to fix.
Stock mounting flange (this is the '74 Duster now)
One quick cut with a die grinder later (tin snips won't fit far enough into the dash to make the cut)
And a quick bend and the screw inserts (this is the '74)
And slide the liner in, and now you can use all of the mounting locations on the plastic insert. You can see the lower ones have screws installed in the picture, as well as the ones on the sides and top. And yes, that's my antenna. I filled the hole on my fender. And yes, it actually works like that.
You can use the plastic insert on the earlier cars without any modifications as long as you leave the lower two mounting screws out. The plastic glove box liner is plenty rigid enough without them, and is supported by the lip and held in place by the upper and side mounts. So, if you have a car you really don't want to cut, you can still use the plastic liner. If you don't care, you can make the small cuts on the lower flange and fold the "tabs" up to match up with the lower holes on the liner. On my '74 I've already cut so many things in the dash (to fit a rallye cluster) it really didn't matter. And, if I had been slightly less overzealous with the cut, you wouldn't even see it with the glove both open. As it was I made the cut about an 1/8" too long, so you can see part of the cut past the glove box liner.
The '75+ cars may have had angled flanges, but it really doesn't matter.
