Question: When Chevrolet supplied a lighter for that location, was it the "cat's eye" lighter like Tiny's? And was it green as per Tiny's? Or was a lighter supplied with a knob that specifically matched the others on the dash of that particular vihicle? Ole S Olson

One more little piece of the truck that seems to be an original accessory. Yay! Thanks Gene! PS Mine works, but the only thing it might ever be used for would be starting camp fires.

They're on my other computer that's off now for the rest of the day. Are you a club member? Better prices for club members. Last edited by Tiny; 03/21/21 06:02 PM.
