Right side ash tray

Looking for a right side ash tray, as shown in pic below of an older J10. Barter/trade if anyone has one. I have a glove box door for an older rig, like the one below, green with some badge on it.
My '84 GW currently is Nutmeg color, only one ash tray per factory build, but will take any color. Removing the clock in mine, to install the ash tray.

Need to look behind the clock and see if the sliders are in the dash to hold the tray, if it’s not there I’m not sure how you would install that without pulling the dash out, I think they are spot welded in.

My existing was a bit wonky when I got the truck, and found it was just screwed in, so figure the other side should do the same. Dash base probably has the mounting holes needed, but good idea to check. Will make it work either way, just need the complete tray, with mounting mechanism included. Also noticed the opposing upper left and right corners are rounded slightly, and not just a 90* angle, but again will modify to fit correctly as needed.
Thanks

Two ashtrays and no cup holders. It was a different time!

So true. I am still running without my front door cards on, so have magnetic cup holders from O'Reillys on the doors right now. Thinking I could cut the door cards, when time for them to go back on, so the magnetic cup holders could continue to be utilized. Want to build a custom console to mount the CB radio, possibly a regular radio, cell phone holder, storage, and include cup holders there as well. Dash port for regular radio might make into cell phone slot with USB connection, just a little catch cubby for small notebook, maybe a switch panel for on board air I want to mount in the back, and other lighting or indicator lights for whatever else I add in later.
Fairly good building with wood, so will make a cardboard template for final design, then get it made. Need to do carpet and insulation first, so will be awhile, unless I win the lottery.

Have a matched tray from an IFSJA forum member who is sending soon. Will pull the clock out while waiting and see what framework of the dash looks like behind it.
