Default Here's the thing

Thanks as always gentlemen ...
Re the bulbs: I should have clarified initially - the bulbs are long gone - I had to pick the remains of their bases out of the holders - so I don't know what am looking for.

Default Chevy shift and information plates

Hi Dave,

I was looking at this recently.

LWD Parts in the Netherlands have repros shift plates etc but the cost and postage is high.

45 euros for the shift plate and 30 euros each for a couple others.
From personal experience the cheapest parcel postage is 30 euros from the Netherlands.

3 plates plus postage = 135 euros x 1.63 = $220.05 Aus

I deleted the switches photos. I see Chev switches are different to Ford's. Just another thing that wasn't common.

Cheers,

Default Smaller Switches?

Thanks again for all input - am I imagining things or are the Chev 'car dash' switches more petite? (Corowa) Sample here. These are what I am chasing.

I think this is an original (source: LWD parts, out of stock)

But see one of the links Mike posted above, these look more like it: https://vintagewireandsupply.com/tog...nickel-plated/
