Name that Part!!!

[Yellow71]

First guy to name the application of this grommet is the winner.

Keith can do a search on that number. I'm sure there are some still on the shelf. If Keith can't find one/two, let me know and I'll get with my NOS vendor i deal with.

Parts book shows it as a PVC valve grommet

1 - What year parts book?

2 - This part is a very soft squissy rubber, and would not work well in a high temp app...

and the single black wire...s/b a big clue

BUT!...the search engine I used shows PCV grommet...

However...that is not the answer we are looking for...sorry.

Antenna grommet? Rear cab light grommet? Spotlight grommet?

[LC]

LC from PA that part # is not in the 1970 Light,Medium,Heavy Truck parts book and isnot in the 1961 parts book so if it is a truck part it from 62-69 I give What,s the Answer LC

You are so right...this part is not in the 1970-71 book...

and yet this part shows up in at least two places on every 1970-71 sweptline...

good job doing your homework

LC from PA if it wasn,t 11PM EST I go out and uncover my truck just to find that THING LC

[Yellow71]

Antenna grommet? Rear cab light grommet? Spotlight grommet?

I think you are right on the antenna...but I can't find mine...

I do not know about the rear cab or the spotlight...you may have something there.

However...that is not the application of the grommet pictured...

single small black wire...BIG HINT

Another BIG HINT...I need this grommet, because I just got my rear bumper rechromed, and found that I am missing this grommet, as I am putting the bumper assembly back together,

and installing it on my truck.....

One application for 2426712...Speedometer through firewall...but that is also not the one I have pictured...

L O L...License Plate Lamp wire goes from Rear Bumper...

through grommet installed in bed (under Tail gate)...to harness.


Thanks for participating in this installment of "Name That Part!"

and helping me find more places to look for this grommet.

"This grommet is used in early 60's firewall applications, hood release and radio antenna. Possible choke including truck."

says my friend Rick who just chimed in with that info...

Max Wedge part here for sure...

. that was my next guess! not really...

How is the wiring routed? I have mine dangling under the bumper because I couldn't figure out the routing.

This grommet goes in a hole in the extreme rear of the bed. It is on a ground facing surface, under the tail gate.

Your wire goes from the lamp, through the grommet, and is plugged into the harness, which s/b just inside the hole...the plug may be 12 inches to the passenger side...

the harness is then kept by several restraints built into the under side of the bed. As soon as i get mine together, I can get some photos uploaded.

Just going off what MyMopar.com part number search came back for part number 2426712, it described it as a “grommet PCV valve”. Thanks for calling me out John on transposing the letters, I think that we all know that I meant PCV. Anyway it was fun to find out just what this part was. Thanks, lets do it again sometime.

Yes that is what is says...if it was indeed a pcv grommet...my guess is that it may have been a pcv grommet early on, but was obviously replaced with a higher density rubber...

and this grommet was still used in other applications...maybe they were trying to multi task :)

also, this grommet is too big for the valve covers I have...

anyone know if early 60's valve covers have a larger PCV hole??????

same as an a body, like a duster for the lp light.
