Original cigarette lighter question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

blkcorvair · 01-19-2012, 12:21 AM

Was there only one type of original cigarette lighter? (The one with the silver button)

Just wondering. I have all back knobs in my 69 (without the silver center) so I wondered if there was a base style lighter that went with that trim or if they were all the same.

TTT, Mines the same too inquiring minds want to know

sanford66 · 01-19-2012, 03:56 AM

I think all the lighters had the silver center button, regardless of the trim level or year [67-72]. I'm sure others will chime in. I believe there was a lighter delete option though. Joseph

I did think at one time I saw a different (Plain black lighter) for 67. Thats what got me wondering

dcasalena · 01-19-2012, 12:37 PM

I think I have a plain black one on my work bench at home. I'll check when I get there tonight and let you know.

That looks like the aforementioned lighter delete plug to me. That's what my '71 has.

Yea I saw that one. Yea thats the delete plug

bruceman1968 · 01-19-2012, 04:35 PM

Yes, you guy's are right. I just checked the gm heritage center and the cig lighter was part of a option package. The SPID on the ebay truck doesn't have a option package listed. Sorry about that, my bad.

hgs_notes · 01-19-2012, 04:42 PM

I came across one in a 67 with a small chrome knob, no black around it. Might not have been original but it matched the radio knobs which I know were different in 67. Sold it I think, but I'll have to look in my stash.

hgs_notes · 01-19-2012, 05:23 PM

I looked at it and it was made by Casco. Ebay sellers are calling that an NOS part for GM and just about every other mfr, but I really dont know.

Same as this one...

Maybe black vs shiny trim has to do with original trim level of the truck. ?? base - black
next higher trim levels - shiny
? (a guess)

That's true. Base trucks got plain black knobs, but the lighter was optional and as far as I know the lighter with the shiny center was the only one available.

Nope, no all black lighter knob. I have an all chrome one (that one has a narrow knob) and a chrome center one (with the fat knob). Sorry I couldn't help, but sounds like there wasn't an all black one.

blkcorvair · 01-20-2012, 10:36 PM

sound like it didnt exsist. I had a chome one and a radio with chrome knobs, but they were both dealer installed. Black with the silver button it is!

Tuff Gong · 01-21-2012, 01:20 AM

Does anyone have info on a lighted lighter option. I know it sound funny, but I think I saw one for sale a while back. Looking forward to hearing from others.
