WTB Choke knob and bezel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68haywagon · 08-29-2005, 11:22 AM

I just got the correct choke cable from Matt67C10 this weekend and now I need the bezel and knob for the dash. Anyone have a set laying around? It doesn't have to be perfect, as my truck is far from it. Shipping to 18706.

Thanks
Mike

What year bezel (for your 68?) and how many guages do you need?

68haywagon · 08-29-2005, 12:27 PM

For my 68. I need the little silver round bezel (I don't know if that is what it is called) that screws onto the cable before the knob. I have the dummy light setup if that makes a difference.

RicksTrucks · 08-29-2005, 12:29 PM

Some refer to the whole dash cluster as a bezel, is the reason I was asking. Just wanted to clarify for everyone.

68haywagon · 08-29-2005, 12:32 PM

Gotcha. Thanks, I didn't know what to call it

Is this part of what you are looking for?

68haywagon · 08-29-2005, 04:34 PM

That's the one! I also need the handle/knob too.

Thanks,
Mike

RicksTrucks · 08-29-2005, 05:21 PM

That is all I think that I have. Let me know if you get everything but that.

**67sss** · 08-29-2005, 08:18 PM

so now you need just the knob, right? does it look like either of the knobs on these light switches ? I also have one from a 67, but those knobs are different..

68haywagon · 08-29-2005, 09:51 PM

I still need both. I have no clue what the knob looks like. I just looked in my LMC catalog and it lists different part numbers for the different knobs(wiper, headlights, and choke), so I don't know if they are interchangable. I just don't want to pay $20+ for a new one when it's not going to be in there that long. The POS cable the PO put in just sucks and Matt gave me the correct cable, but he didn't have the knob or bezel for it.

Thanks,
Mike

**67sss** · 08-29-2005, 10:04 PM

here's a close up of 2 style knobs, you'll want the one on the right and the spacer.
$10 for spacer and knob. pm me and I'll send you my addyif you want em. thanks

RicksTrucks · 08-29-2005, 11:20 PM

I can take a picture of my 68, if you want, tomorrow morning.

Rod · 08-30-2005, 09:12 AM

You have to specfically get choke knob..they're different in that their threaded onto the cable end. Something like that anyway.. I dont have one here to look at right now. Maybe a manual throttle knob might work. How deep some of the knobs are also is a factor.

**67sss** · 08-30-2005, 05:17 PM

here's one on a 67', I think it's the type that threads on, RIGHT?

TruckinDaddy · 08-30-2005, 07:24 PM

I'd bet so. The threaded one is on my 68. Now if I can just find the right cable...

what cable do you need? the cable is still connected on the above pic...

TruckinDaddy · 08-30-2005, 07:37 PM

Sorry for the hijack... I had to rig up a POS universal choke cable, when mine broke last month. I thought I found one on the forum, but it never arrived. So I am looking for a useable correct choke cable for a 2bbl, if that matters. But I haven't felt like paying the $6 shipping out of a catalog for a $10 cable.

68haywagon · 08-30-2005, 11:31 PM

The one on that 67 is in the same position as where mine is supposed to be, and the I just looked at the cable and it does have threads so I guess it does screw on.

Mike

I have the complete set up with deluxe knob. VGC $20 pm e-mail and I will send pics. First come first served. Or I can send it if you dont want it send it back.
