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.

My wife was fascinated by this. Just kidding. I just got that look. You know the one.

ha ha h a yeah. it is quite interesting. could they just be worn?

Huskerboy2 · 10-18-2006, 01:50 AM

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

where is this located and does it range by year the round and square ones or is it random or maybe range by plant

There Is Also A Third Type Too, Kind Of Plain Looking And Completely Round, If I Knew How To Post Pics I Could Show You One.

could be its part of the casting process , if someone at the plant is realy eager to get the castingflash of the sides and round of the corners too

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.

Might as well post what the other one looks like.
