Dash knobs
 
I have some questions about dash knobs on a 66 C10 I'm working on.

The American Autowire kit came with a new headlight switch and this billet knob that I would like to match.

Does anyone make billet knobs for the lighter and washer wiper? Also, I have two choke cables -- one Holley and one generic aftermarket. On both, the knobs seem like they can not be removed and replaced. What's my best solution here? And the same is true of the lighter knob.

Thanks.

I had the exact same issue and decided to go the other way and keep the original knobs. The wiper-washer knob is going to be especially tough to find. I don't think there's going to be an easy solution, sorry to say. You might be able to grind off the knobs that are permanently set on shafts and attach billet knobs with set screws or epoxy.

Do you mean like this? Your wiring company probably stocks the same thing, too.

No, I mean knobs specifically for a 66 pickup. There seems to be no solution for wiper/washer and lighter knobs.

I knew it ... Just when I said it can't be done!
