Re: screwdriver ?

I don’t know if this 57 Chevy bezel tool would work or not:



http://www.danchuk.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=913#

The 1960 Chevy Truck Shop Manual does not mention a special tool for removing the bezels. There are also special tools listed with photos, and nothing shown for the switch bezels.

Also your mirror screws went in the mail today via priority mail. Should arrive your location within 2-3 days.

Re: screwdriver ?

Just had to say that Markeb is A-OK in my book. This fellow epitomizes what is good about the forum environment. He's always willing to contribute something worthwhile, whether it be knowledge, insight, or even simple parts. Mark, you rule! Thanks for being here.
Ok, carry on.

Re: screwdriver ?

that looks like something i bought before for another project, it was in a security bit set at harbor freight that has a couple size's of that style that might work, plus all the other bits that you get come in handy for other things,:

Hey, mark, didn't older 6-cyl Chevies use that tool, or one like it, for distributor servicing? I'm almost certain I still have one in my "secondary" tool box.
BTW: nice find on the picture!

Re: screwdriver ?

Thanks for all the props guys. I ran a corporate help desk for 14 years before health issues abruptly ended my career. I am so glad I found this forum because it gave me an outlet to continue contributing. Any benefit I’ve added has been returned many times by other members. I’m thankful to be part of this, and glad I have the time available to research some of the more obscure questions.
