Thank you Phil, the basic knob shape looks very common, the tang receptacle on the back seems less common than a round hole. The round holed wersion exists for choke and throttle cables (presumably threaded inside??) and for window cranks (pressed on to a rivet with circumferential ridges). I've checked some Chev parts suppliers and McMaster Carr online without finding the "right" knobs. I haven't checked my parts books to find out if the knobs have Chev or Ford numbers (and if they are CMP unique or generic parts), nor have I checked the Master Parts catalogs to see if they have other known applications. The research results will follow.
