Good thing you included the 'S' on the word 'knob' (in sentence no.3) - otherwise it would generate a whole different picture. :lol:

But, seriously, - - good photos. Some questions arise. (White?) steering wheel and gauge near brake lever? And, other electronics? - under dash. I do not have hole near glove box as the vent cable will be integral with the Blower switch, would it not?

What makes you think the radios were dealer installed?

Bill, I know, I just always hear people say it that way. The radios seem to be installed all over the place which leads me to believe that it wasn't always factory.

The extra gauges I have are clock and sun oil gauge

White wheels optional - but not factory on mine

Other electronics are useless fm converter that is getting trashed this weekend

Where the "B" knob is in my pic is where the "W" knob should go (for the wipers). I need to put the "B" knob back on the blower switch (last one on the right in the pic with the three heater knobs) to replace that GM radio knob!

I recognized that knob! My Dad's 75 Scottsdale 1/2 ton 4x4 had one.
