Looking for the factory silver and black fuel sending level switch, (For trucks with factory aux fuel tanks) Mounted to the left of the gauges. Matches the other switches.

I have seen the colorado custom electric swithces and the floor switches but never one like your describing, any pics????

72 CustomCamper · 09-15-2007, 01:28 AM

Here is a pic of one I have. Not for sale though...

WOW,
Now I am on the hunt. I have never seen one that I knew what it was, seen plenty on the left but now I know exactly what they are.

72cheyennesuper20 · 09-15-2007, 04:22 PM

Come on Classic Bowties(Mel), I know you must have more than 2 of these, You are after all the man with 5 pairs of extreme bend tow hooks.

Hey Steve, sorry no help here yet, I only have the two that you have already seen and both are still on complete trucks yet. Here are a couple of pics of both, maybe someone will check out the pics and realize that they have one for you. Good luck on your search buddy, and btw I only have four sets now.

Oh yeah, sorry for not getting back to you regarding the high desert swap meet but it was pretty good this year. I hauled a truck (also a partially filled up honda) load of goodies home, highlights would have to be a few nice NOS pieces and a choice set of 3/4 ton blue spicer hub knobs and chrome rings. Give me a call sometime, Mel

72cheyennesuper20 · 09-16-2007, 11:13 PM

Dont tell me you guys have been sending these switches to the scrap yard!

**68350** · 09-16-2007, 11:57 PM

i believe i have one, let me check. what are they worth? thanks

72cheyennesuper20 · 09-17-2007, 12:20 AM

I have no idea what theay are worth, That could be a hole new thread. But I do Know the PO of my truck put in a toggle switch. Thanks.

72 CustomCamper · 09-17-2007, 12:45 AM

My truck had a toggle switch in it too. But the switch I have in the pic is an NOS one that my uncle gave me...

Funny how in the pics, the switches are in different locations in relation to the AC vents. I guess GM/dealers just drilled the holes anywhere.

72customcamper: On your NOS one, does the knob keep turning in either direction or does it stop? Also, can you feel notches when it turns like an on/off position or does it turn evenly? Just wondering how you know when you've selected one tank or another. Thanks

It feels like turning the wiper switch. But only 1 click...

Great, thanks

**68350** · 09-22-2007, 04:22 PM

Have two, however, one is missing the knob. A knob from something the same? I'll get you a price tonight, hopefully. thanks

72cheyennesuper20 · 09-22-2007, 09:15 PM

Sounds good, Thanks

**68350** · 09-23-2007, 01:01 PM

pm with me an offer! thanks

**Classic Bowties** · 09-23-2007, 04:47 PM

Steve, the missing knob from 68350's above mentioned switch is not going to be a problem. All you will need is a Standard or Deluxe Radio Knob, they are the same Diameter, height and also have the same metal D shaped spring/clip retainer holding them on to the switch shafts. Good luck, Mel

72cheyennesuper20 · 11-28-2007, 08:35 PM

68350, Just received them. Thanks for the fast shipping.
