Interesting Discovery?

O.K., maybe it isn't that interesting. Have you guys ever noticed there are two types of choke delete plates for the 67-68 trucks? I was looking at a few of mine, and I noticed that some have round corners and some have square corners.

Re: Interesting Discovery?

The chrome is in good shape. No sign of wear around the corners. They are definitely different.

Re: Interesting Discovery?

I have 1 of all 3 also. I like the rounded off corners the best. I do not like the style that Jerry mentioned but they are easier to find.

Personally I just switch to the 69-72 style bezel with the wiper knob on the right.
