55.2-59 Ashtray assembly - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**8man** · 11-03-2024, 01:26 PM

I am looking for a complete ashtray assembly for my 55 Cameo. I'm putting the Vintage Air heat switch in it if I can find one. Here is a picture of what I'm doing, sorry, you'll have to click the link as I'm having "picture posting problems" right now. https://flic.kr/p/2qrSXwM

I need the complete assembly to put it where the old heater control goes.
Thanks.

Are you sure you aren't looking for a heater delete plate? Heaters were still optional in TF trucks although probably less got sold without one than AD trucks did.

This one is too rich for my blood https://www.ebay.com/itm/166167528919

This one is junk https://www.ebay.com/itm/27585578832...IAAOSwbPtkZG~G

Mr48, I put one of the AC controls in the ashtray in the stock location. I like the "hidden" aspect of that.

Now I need to put in one more controller and I wanted to put it in the heater spot by converting it to the same flip out as the stock ashtray. That's why I was looking for a complete ashtray assembly.

If I can't find that I'll go with the heater delete and put that last controller in the glove box.

Thanks for the two you sent. The one is too expensive, but if I had to rebuild the other one, it might work.

Neat idea. Are you needing just the ash tray or that and the surrounding area it pivots on too? I imagine there's someone around that's smoothing out their dash that cut this out and would have that available. Hopefully your fingers will fit down in there!

57, thanks, and with the switch placed pretty high as shown, the fingers work fine.
