Yes, but don't put it in the same location as the driver's door or you will not  be able to open the glove compartment with the door closed. 
Check for glovebox clearance BEFORE you drill the holes.

Subject: Bus Depot passenger pocket install advice 

Hi folks, 

        along with other project parts from a recent Bus Depot order I received a passenger door map pocket with drink holder.  I thought it would install like the original on the drivers side but there are no wholes and know spots to screw into it. 

        after sorting through my order I found four long screws and I found four depressions on the outer rim of the map holder, door pocket.   

        Can anyone verify that I’m just supposed to drill through this thing and into my door panel? a simple solution but not very elegant and I’m not sure I want those long screws pointing toward my window or whatever is in there. 

thanks for any tips.  I didn’t find any install instructions for my purchases. 

I’m working on it this week as i have the panels off to install larger door speakers.
