You'd also have to drop the steering column to get behind the dash.
My willys is set up the same way, but the gauges are in the center of the dash. The glove box dor and the access cover over the column are the same part, minus the button hole. I don't think it's factory, but the access cover is secured with 4 studs brazed to the back of the cover that pass through holes in the dash and are secured with star washers and nuts. You could do something similar, but use 1/8" steel rod for the top two instead of studs. Bend the rods into an L shape (probably less than 90 degress or with a kick out near the end so ease alignment). The just hook the rods into the top holes, swing the bottom into place and secure with two studs at the bottom corners. Due to the 'swing' part, you would probably have to drop the column for this too.
