68-72 radio knobs question... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**John Fabris** · 07-20-2007, 04:10 PM

Hi All, I am looking at my collection of truck parts, and I see that I have two different types of radio knobs from 68-72 trucks, where one knob is about 1/2 inch tall and the other is about 3/4" of an inch tall. both of them have the metal sleeve insert in the hole. Anyone know why they are different hieghts? Is on from truck radio, the other from a Van radio perhaps?

I was wondering the same thing. The ones in my truck are shorter and the ones in the suburban are longer, both are the factory AM radios with deluxe knobs.
