In my opinion they look good. Although your truck already looks great.

My dad had those screens on his 77 truck. He went thru an road stop inspection and they made him remove them on the spot. Not sure what the big deal is. They were so rusty they had no shine left to scatter the light beam.

Pete, are these what your looking for

I guess "Steering Wheel Spinner" is a little more marketable than "Suicide Knob".

How about a Sport Grip steering wheel cover? I've had this one since '89. This is the second truck and second steering wheel for it

This was one of.my favorites back in the day! Every car or truck I had back then got one of these. I think they were about 4 bucks at the K-Mart but they really did give those little skinny steering wheels back then some girth and a great feel.

They were a standard for me, too.

I ran those mesh stone guards on a couple trucks, '69 Power Wagon and a '71 Blazer. The chrome won't rust unless it gets wet

. I painted mine black. I think the deal is there is to be "no obstruction" to headlamps, nada, zip. Do they interfere with headlamp performance? Nope. I never had any issues over them. They are effective. Not that I've ever had a headlight break from stones.

Anyone run a deer whistle?

**DeadheadNM** · 01-27-2021, 10:36 PM

Vintage kill switch and alarm

I don’t know how authentic they are to any other ‘69 c10, but when mine went from my great grandpa to my Dad’s construction fleet, my dad removed my great grandma’s vanity mirror and gave it to me as a Christmas present this last year!!! Along side that he had a key pouch from a dealership in my old hometown. A little saddle soap and it cleaned up nicely. 😎

**special-K** · 07-27-2021, 10:41 PM

Nice. I love those folded leather key fobs. I think I remember them shaped like cars, too.

I also plan on mounting this in the truck as well...

**special-K** · 07-29-2021, 05:28 AM

Nice interior pieces. I always mounted both in my trucks. Flashlight bottom center of dash and extinguisher on the passenger kick panel

72c20customcamper · 03-18-2022, 08:55 PM

Little old for my trucks . Found this at my moms under a whole bunch of car parts .Little research it’s dated 2-56 Otto Bernz co Rochester NY . Box is still intact imagine sending a propane bottle in the US Mail

**special-K** · 03-20-2022, 07:39 PM

That thing is really cool.

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-21-2022, 09:24 AM

I guess the bottle is refillable. Very cool!

VWNate1 · 03-21-2022, 06:23 PM

The bottle proper was replaceable and are still available, I use one in my Mechanical work with a simple flame jet on it .

Plumbers use these bottles / torches too to sweat solder copper pipes .

I tried a new bernzomatic tank it’s slightly to fat to fit . Not the short fat cylinder this one .

72c20customcamper · 03-27-2022, 07:36 PM

Cleaning out the Avanti truck to get some new shocks that I bought for it to put on the Lark found this . It’s an early unused Bernzomatic brand fix a flat and the propellant is DuPont Freon guessing it’s r12 .

From the USPS website, "Propane is a Division 2.1 flammable gas and is acceptable in domestic mail via surface transportation only if it can qualify as a Limited Quantity ground material." Wild, huh? It is, however, unlawful to refill the little tanks and transport them. I use them all the time for soldering copper pipe, like VWNate1 says. Also on copper projects, as I haven't mastered welding copper.

72c20customcamper · 03-28-2022, 10:17 AM

I'm going to be refilling the original tank since it fits as apposed to the new ones
