How many keys came with and what fit what? door, ignition, trunk, glove box Shift knob on a 51 Fleetline Powerglide? I see both styles in the books. Grey or Ivory color? slim or 1/2 egg shape? Vent cable mounting brackets, painted or not? Mine appear to be chrome underneath, then painted like the dash? Just the horseshoe mounting bracket. The rest of the cable and housing polished up like a mirror! But the brackets would be ALOT of work to come clean! as always, Gracias from New Mexico! USA! "Frame Off" restoration, its a journey not a destination

The PG shift knob is the ame ivory as the other knobs and its slim with a raised ring running around the center. Vent cable brackets painted to match dash. Gene Schneider
