    I saw this on another thread and was wondering what kind of knobs and switches these are? I have seen a few of them at swapmeets in years past but never picked them up. Now I am thinking they might be cool in my project. What say you? Are they 51 Ford?

    I have some of those and they came out of a '54, I'm not sure if '53 are exactly the same.
    They might be.

    '55 T bird are almost identical. T bird places repop those so you might want to check online rather than hunt down originals, it might take months to find what you are looking for unless you only want gennie.

    Thanks for the tip on the T-bird stuff. That might be the route to go. I have been gathering 49 chrome ball stuff but don't have what I need to do the dash the way I want. I'll check it out. I like these knobs as they look kinda rocketship style.
