I am desperately seeking an ignition switch retainer bezel and spring to hold my brand new ignition switch in my
1957 Ranchero....
I have looked everywhere I can think of and cannot find a bezel anywhere!
So, I am forced to locate a used one and will pay whatever you want, within reason of course!
I'm really trying to put this car on the road this year, which does NOT leave me much time!!!!
I got this in an e-mail the other day from Terry Bly to help me in finding some parts. Bet this guy as a lot of those bezels.
Good luck! Hugh

Steve was an old friend of mine. He recently passed away, may his US Marine soul rest in peace. His son contacted us and indicated that he would be maintaining his phone number. Unfortunately, none of us have been able to contact him at that phone number. If I get any updates I will post them.
Sorry Ray...didn't know.
I may have one, I will check today and let you know...
Well I found the switch and the spring but no bezel... sorry.
The part you want is B7A 11584-A. It has been long since obsolete from Ford and it appears none of the parts suppliers have seen fit to have it reproduced. I did find a place in Georgia that claims to have several. Here is the information.
