Vendor for 1966 Thrift Heater Knob? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone have a source for a 66 Thrift Heater knob? You can get the new control cable from multiple vendors, but it doesn't include the knob, and noone seems to sell them.

If reproductions are not available, has anyone modified a choke (or other knob) to work?

That sure look like a wiper knob. If I were looking for one I'd ask Aspen C10 Parts in Arizona.

Thanks! I deal with Jaime (Nick's son) all the time. Great guy. I'll shoot him a note.

Ya that knob sure looks like one I had when I got my truck in pieces a few years ago. Doubt I would have it anymore, I gave so much stuff away to younger guys starting out.

I snagged one from Jaime at Aspen Auto. He pulled a knob off an interior diverter, it's not exactly the same, but close enough and it will work.

I'm thinking the original one you had looked like a one speed wiper switch knob.
