My glove box lid flops open, it appears there were some kind of torsion springs on the side that kept it shut. Where can they be purchased? Can they be fabricated?

I got mine from Bob Drake. It snap fits at the bottom of the lid and the opening. It is a small semi-circular, thin leaf spring that goes under tension when the door is lowered. 48-701679. Of course, it's out of stock.

Until then a small magnet usually works

Call around to other V-8 parts vendors as they may have them in stock.
