So I ran into a guy the other day when I was out drivin Thunder. He said he had a bunch of parts for his 54 that he would be willing to get rid of if I just showed up to get em. I got to looking through the 3 boxes of stuff he gave me. I think I can use some of the stuff on my 52, but some I can't. So, I thought I'd see if any of you guys might need some stuff. Most notable are a set of tail light lenses, and dash cluster surround (no gauges) including the gl*** dash top piece. If anyone wants this stuff, lemme know and I will try to get some pictures up of requested parts.
I'm looking for a headlight switch with bezel and knob/shaft. Any of those parts there? Bill, Spring, TX
baker53 I know theres some switches in there. I will pull the boxes down either thurs or fri and get you some pics and you can see if you like them. they are black knobs with a chrome bullet like end. 54hotrod, unfortunately, I don't think there are any splash aprons in the boxes. if you want, shoot me a pic and I will see what I can find in the boxes. pretty sure theres nothin like that, but I'm gettin em down anyway so I might as well check it out.
Baker63 , Macs has the headlight switch , knob with shaft and bezel for the 54 . I made that post on another post that someone was looking for the headlight switch . If you go to MACS it's easy to find ! Jim
Firerod63: Thanks, I am also looking for the Bezel for the ignition switch. I have as aftermarket ignition switch but no bezel for it. I believe it will have lettering on it like ACC OFF ON START, but don't know for sure. Retro Jim: I checked the Mac's on-line catalog and found the light switch, but did not see the ***ociated knob/shaft and the bezel for a 54 Ford.
I will get the boxes down later tonight and get some pics up (hopefully). You guys can pick though whats there and see if you want anything. I'm pretty sure the speedo top is already spoken for by one of you guys, I will snap some shots of the switches I have, the tail light lenses, gauge cluster surround, and anything else that looks like it can be used. I can't use this stuff so I figure I'd see if anyone else could before it ends up in the trash.
OK, so here's a few shots of the highlights of the boxes I got. Sorry the pics aren't the greatest, but I had to take em with my phone because I couldn't find my camera (wife has it hid somewhere). The working condition of all the switches is unknown, however I would ***ume they are working because the guy I got them from said he just switched to a different style knob and replaced all the switches while he was at it. I, however, have not hooked them up to verify thier working condition. First up is the tail lights. These are the lenses and buckets. Lenses are in good shape. Not sure if theres bulbs in em or not. Trim rimgs are a bit rusty, but would be good for a driver if you don't have any, or are goin for that look. Macs has the housings listed at $63.95 each and does not include the socket. I'd take $50 for both plus shipping.
Next up is a head light switch WITH bezel. Unknown if working. Switch is black with a chrome bullet in the center. Macs has it listed for $52.95 for the switch and $19.95 for the knob. I'd take $25 plus shipping. GONE
Next up, we have the gauge cluster surround. I have all 4 pieces for this and would prefer not to separate if I don't have to. There's the gauge surround, dash top, tinted plastic dash top insert, and bottom plate. Macs lists the dome for $31.95, but I can't seem to find the other pieces, so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say $50 for all plus shipping. Again, or best offer.
Next is a blower switch with wire. Unknown if working. Macs has it listed for $18.95 and that doesn't include the knob. I'd take $15 plus shipping. GONE
Next is a cigar lighter. Unknown if working. Has broken knob, but I will throw in 3 extra knobs. Macs has it listed for $22. I'd take $10 plus shipping for all.
Next, we have a See Clear washer fluid bag. Should clean up relatively nice. Macs has it listed for $32.95 without all the tubing. I'd take $15 plus shipping. GONE
Unfortunately, all I have for an ignition sswitch is this bezel. If you want it, I'll drop it in the mail to you. Just send me your address. GONE TO BAKER53
Next up is 3 hood/trunk ornament bezels. Some very mild pitting, but very good for a driver or replacement if you need one. Macs has these listed at $50.95 each. I'd take $25 each plus shipping and I'll even throw in one of the faded out emblems for free!
Next is a choke with cable and bezel. I can't find a listing in Macs, so how about $10 plus shipping. GONE
Next is 3 trim rings. Not really sure if these are for head lights or tail lights. Chrome seems to be in good shape. $20 plus shipping.
Next is a misc bunch of light sockets. There are 6 of the larger ones, which I would guess would be for head lights, tail lights and turn signals. There are about a dozen of the smaller ones, which I would ***ume would be for the interior lights. If you want this, you pay only for the shipping and they're all yours. I will also throw in the 2 odd ball bezels shown if you want em. They look like radio knob bezels to me. GONE
Lastly, there's an ***ortment of hood latches. The big one doesn't look like it belongs on one of these cars, but I can't tell. $10 plus shipping for the whole lot. GONE
Again, I'm sorry for the low quality of pictures. If you need better ones, just let me know and I will see what I can do for you. If you buy more than 1 item, I will do my best to combine shipping (as in for 1 low price). And all the listed prices above are or best offer. If you see something you like, but don't like the price, don't be afraid to shoot me an offer. I'm always open to consideration! Also open to trades as well!
I found some more goodies! First is an oil filter canister. No top, needs cleaning. Make me an offer. GONE
Not really sure what this piece is. Looks like a chrome piece for the bottom of the seat. Chrome in good shape, only a couple small pits here and there. Make me an offer.
Next is a pair of metal Auto Lite sea shell style horns. Give these babys a quick coat of paint and they're show ready! Macs has the plastic ones listed at $89.95 a pair. I'll take $50 plus shipping for these.
Next is a heater control with both cables AND light. Chrome and control levers look to be in good shape. Face of control looks good. Cables look decent, but not sure if they move freely or not. Macs has the cables listed at $20.95 each, but I can't seem to find the controls anywhere. I'll take $50 plus shipping for the whole lot.
Just a quick bump to the top to see if anyone still needs any of these parts. Make me an offer on any or all prices folks! I'm not dead set on any of them.
Seriously guys, don't be afraid to make me offers. I would hate to see this stuff just get thrown away when I know theres people out there that could use it.
