Ashtray assembly

I am looking for a complete ashtray assembly for my 55 Cameo. I'm putting the Vintage Air heat switch in it if I can find one. Here is a picture of what I'm doing, sorry, you'll have to click the link as I'm having "picture posting problems" right now. https://flic.kr/p/2qrSXwM

I need the complete assembly to put it where the old heater control goes.
Thanks.

Re: Ashtray assembly

Are you sure you aren't looking for a heater delete plate? Heaters were still optional in TF trucks although probably less got sold without one than AD trucks did.

This one is too rich for my blood https://www.ebay.com/itm/166167528919

This one is junk https://www.ebay.com/itm/27585578832...IAAOSwbPtkZG~G

Re: Ashtray assembly

Mr48, I put one of the AC controls in the ashtray in the stock location. I like the "hidden" aspect of that.

Now I need to put in one more controller and I wanted to put it in the heater spot by converting it to the same flip out as the stock ashtray. That's why I was looking for a complete ashtray assembly.

If I can't find that I'll go with the heater delete and put that last controller in the glove box.

Thanks for the two you sent. The one is too expensive, but if I had to rebuild the other one, it might work.

Re: Ashtray assembly

Neat idea. Are you needing just the ash tray or that and the surrounding area it pivots on too? I imagine there's someone around that's smoothing out their dash that cut this out and would have that available. Hopefully your fingers will fit down in there!

Re: Ashtray assembly

57, thanks, and with the switch placed pretty high as shown, the fingers work fine.

Re: Ashtray assembly

It is a Chevy.

Thanks for helping clarify that.

I went looking for an ash tray on that side thinking that I might find one. No luck for right hand ash trays and I'd highly suggest trial fitting one before I spent the coin to buy one and the hardware to attach it.

Re: Ashtray assembly

I did test fit the ashtray I have. The openings are almost identical in size once the heater side "flange" is bent back like the ashtray side. That's why I was looking for a complete bracket cut out of the dash. I started working on a template to build one, and while I'd still like an original bracket, I'm not having much luck.

Luckily, I have the rod it hangs on from one of the old AD dash's that was all beat up. That will be a help.

Re: Ashtray assembly

I was trying to build the dash bracket, and I found one the guy was willing to cut out for me. I'll post pics once I get it installed.

Re: Ashtray assembly

Cool let us know how you came out on that.

I think I might be able to tuck a plug in to the "fake" tissue container that I bought to hold my head unit for my sound system over to the side. As I said before that tissue box looking thing is an ode to my maternal grandmother who had one in each of her cars that I can remember.
