One of the details I have been attempting to finish on my C10 is the lighter.
The back retainer that was lost during the rebuild process. I knew it was around here. I came up with two and none fit. Well the other day I salvaged one from a truck and found out it was shorter than the others. I figured they were all the same. Well I have three different lengths and only the shortest is correct.
The short one is 1.5" long.
Possibly to make up for the aluminum bezels? Not really sure but I though I would pass this tidbit on.
