Jockey Box
 
I have a 1996 z252 Shabah. The latch on the jockey box is broken. Does anyone know where to get one? Thanks Reed

Not sure where to get one but a jockey box is like a glove box in a car. The one with the key to lock up stuff on passenger side.

Ok, I googled Jockey Box and it says that it is a term used mostly in the Northwestern US, mostly the Rockey Mountain states. Yes it is the GLOVE BOX. I really don't need a locking latch but just the latch that keeps the glove box closed. Thanks for the responses. PS I asked my office one at a time what they would call the box in front of the passenger in a car. 80 percent said Jockey Box. I guess that's Utah.I also asked what they had in their glove box and no one had gloves. I know I could be setting myself for Utah jokes but O well.

I don't know as I've ever seen gloves in anybody's automobile (or boat) "glove box." Then again: I can't say as I've ever seen a jockey in one, either! :rofl:

The terms "Glove Box" and "Jockey Box" are kind of like the use of "pop" and "soda" to describe the carbonated beverages such as Pepsi and Coke.

The first time I heard someone suggest we get a soda I had the image of ice cream in a glass with a carbonated soft drink added.

Sorry :( to hijack the thread but it sorta fits the original question I had.:wink_thumbup:
