    I recently upgraded to electric wipers but am stuck with an ugly black plastic knob. The original style knob doesn't fit, so what options are there for chrome wiper knobs that look close to stock? I've seen some before but can't find any pictures. They appear to be a bit taller than stock

    Check some of the older posts on this subject Russ and others including myself have modified the stock knob to work so we do not have to use that plastic knob.

    I drilled my stock knob to fit over the switch shaft, then JB Welded it to get the flat spot for the shaft. I then drilled and tapped the knob for a very small set screw to clamp down on the flat spot.

    Every time you alls post up a picture of the inside of a daily driver unrestored Advance Design cab , the memories come flooding on back .

    Many date back to Farm Work in the mid 1960's .

    Some days I wish I'd had the $ of ability to swap a Dual Hydromatic Slushbox into my old '49 3100.....
