The original design is a cardboard glove box. This was used in the commercial pickup (1/2 ton) and the truck (1-1/2 ton). Ford didn't produce a 3/4 ton truck in 1937, just the commercial pickup and the bigger truck.
I'd say use whatever fits and you like. If the metal box works for you and you are happy with it, then go ahead. If you are looking for a point judged vehicle, then use the cardboard box.
