Cigarette lighter delete. Can i find one? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BADPURPLE70CHEVY · 07-09-2012, 07:35 PM

When i got my truck it had the plug where the lighter goes but when i tore it down i misplaced it. Anyone have any idea where to find one that will work? Looked on ebay already. No luck.

Hard to find items are choke deletes n lighter deletes watch the parts board n E-bay someone will eventially post one.

I have been asked to open this for a while. As long as it does not turn into a wtb and remains a what source may have, it should be ok.

I am not in disagreement with fine69 or his handling of this. More times then not these turn bad quick. I am just giving a chance that was asked of us. I hope you find what you are looking for.

If you're wanting an original plug, the parts board may be the best bet. I know of a guy that might have one. PM me for his phone #. Something I've seen before though, is the chrome and plastic furniture plugs you can get at Lowes.

I'm not sure of the size of the lighter hole, but would a knockout plug from an electrical box work as well? Most are zinc plated steel that could easily be polished or painted.

cdowns · 07-10-2012, 11:40 AM

yes they will work well

measure to make sure

i normally just buy a bunch of sizes by eyeball and memory and hope one fits good// the leftovers i store in the box for future projects

would be kinda cool and useful to wire in a power inverter plug where the cigarette lighter used to be.

I would agree with above... Keep an eye on our parts forums and ebay.
Best of luck

I don't think so. The delete measures 1/2" thick so you would have to find a small padded envelope to mail it in. It shouldn't cost more than a $1.50 to $1.65 to mail it. Maybe less...
