A What Is It Question

Found this in my box of odds & ends. No idea where it came from or what it is but it is definetly 67=72 knob styled. "Looks" like a standard radio knob but is almost 3/8" longer in length and the back stem hole has a threaded insert in it.

Re: A What Is It Question

I was thinking perhaps a choke knob but not sure. If '67 would it not have the knurled edges? Edges are smooth on it like radio knobs.

Got a full set of muffler bearings stashed away in the shop and this didn't match up, thanks. LOL

I think you mean the wiper knob has a set screw. The headlight knob is permanently attached to the shaft...

Wink Re: A What Is It Question

Yes the only knob I know of for a 67-72 chevy dash with a set screw is the wiper knob.

It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: A What Is It Question

The K31 manual throttle knob is internally threaded and screws onto the cable. There are at least three styles IIRC.
