CST horn button 67-68

I heard from a vendor at the Turlock Swap meet on Saturday that some company is going to re-pop this button for about $70 to $85 bucks ! Picked up some very nice NOS parts very reasonable prices.

Re: CST horn button 67-68

Be nice if they are quality, matched to the originals and not the FMVSS compliant service replacements true NOS parts are.

Re: CST horn button 67-68

These CST/CUSTOM buttons are hard to find in "very nice condition".

Re: CST horn button 67-68

I think those horn buttons were '67 only. I was looking for one to put on my '68 because I thought mine had the wrong one on it. My all original '68 has the Silver style pictured below. I know there has been some discussion on this before.

Here is a post by “leddzepp”,

Quote:
I believe the cst horn button was only used on 67 cst trucks...according to the part number it is listed as 67 only (3903667), and every original 68 cst I have come across has had the standard horn button. But...the 67 cst button would look WAY better on that SWEET truck you just bought!!!
And here is a reply by "too much stuff"

Quote:
I agree with scott...
I will look tonight, i think i have both pieces you need.

I am sure someone will have both parts you need to put the finishing touches on that beauty!
Nothing wrong with changing it if you aren't going entirely original but I would like to eventually restore the '68 back to all original.

The GMC may be a completely different story.
