AZ Billet Aluminum Deluxe Dash Knobs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

UPDATE:

After several iterations these are finally a reality

I'll try to get some install pics this weekend. The price will be $12 a piece for lights, wiper, choke, throttle and radio knobs.

The choke and throttle knobs thread on just like the factory, the wiper and radio knobs have a set screw and are a very tight fit. The headlight knob has a set screw as well (it uses the same knob as the throttle and choke so there are threads inside) and it also is a very tight fit. You have to remove your old knob off of the factory shaft. I've put a lot of time and thought into these to make sure every knob fits well with no slop.

For the cigarette lighter I have two options, I can provide the knob with the lighter element which fits the 67-72 lighter socket but doesn't fit as tight as the original so if you actually use the lighter this isn't a good option since it could pop completely out when it gets hot. If you don't light things with the lighter this should be fine. The other option is a complete replacement element and socket. The replacement sockets have a spade connector so you would need to splice a spade onto your wiring or swap over the connector piece from your original socket. This is a good option if your socket is old and/or doesn't work.

The cigarette lighter price will be $12 +$5 for just the element or +$8 for the element and socket

Shipping will be $4.50 for six or $7 for as many as I can fit in a Priority Mail flat rate box

I really like your ideas Jared. I'd like to what a set of 5 looks like on a truck.

**nlped** · 04-20-2015, 06:52 PM

I'd be in for 2 sets of 3

hardwaycooke · 04-20-2015, 09:56 PM

5 sounds good

**jabborabbo** · 04-20-2015, 10:06 PM

How 'bout a choke knob? (Yes, I know, it's threaded....)

hvacfatboy · 04-20-2015, 10:07 PM

I would be in a set of five

lchall · 04-20-2015, 10:53 PM

I like it Jared. I'd be in for the set of 3.

mahanian · 04-21-2015, 10:42 AM

Sounds like there is enough interest to order them, thanks for all the feedback! The 67 choke will be the same as the headlight knob with a set screw. It would cost a lot more to create a third version for a limited few that need a threaded version.

lhinton · 04-23-2015, 09:38 PM

Great idea! I would take a set of 5.

bagged01extcab · 04-23-2015, 09:56 PM

I would take atleast 1 set of 3 + choke
