I am wanting to put the top 2nd glove box in my ST truck like the SLT and up have. How hard is this any ideas?

well I would imagine that it would involve getting either an entire new dash, or some serious modifications ie cutting. Depending on your current set up and location of you're passenger airbag this could turn into a very rough upgrade. I'd look on ebay for the dash, I saw one up there not too long ago. Don't know how helpful this is but its a start.

Got a picture of the dash in an ST? Seems like a curious thing for dodge to leave out in the base models if they need to have a whole separate dash for ST trucks.

Looks like you can buy the part but it's $128. Not sure if anything else is required, but I'm sure it is the entire assembly for that cost. The dash is the same as far as I know. Even the indention for the upper box handle is on the lower part of my dash.

They did that for alot of things on the ST like the gauge cluster witch has fewer gauges and no EVIC.

But those are individual parts as well that are backwards compatible between models (as far as fitment...EVIC is a different story.) I can guarantee that Dodge did not make a unique dash for the ST. It doesn't make sense from a business standpoint. That is the whole reason for upgrading accessores within the dash, so that they can create value for the higher trim levels. Their profit margin is greater for the higher trims because of this.

You'll see the glove box is replaced with the a shelf-like bin in the ST models.

in that case the top glovebox should just pop in place. i've had mine all apart. you'll need #15 and # 16 and the steel latch part too.
