4 knob dash bezel? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Solver · 02-27-2003, 07:45 PM

Ever seen a 4 knob dash bezel? I was gonna pull the bezel today but ran into problems when I realized that there was an extra cable going out to gas pedal linkage. Thats when I realized that this thing has extra knob in bezel.
I don't know if it's factory or dealer but the throttle plaque is same texture and material as bezel. Also the throttle plaque hole for cable looks original. Anyone ever see one like this?

The height of the dash bezel looks taller than a C10-30 series. Is this a big truck?

Option K31 Manual Throttle.
That answer cost you the dash, you really didn't want that speedwarning / tach dash anyway did you.
