Are these dash pieces available as repros or strictly find better ones?
the Texas climate has done them in....

I dont know. But if you are not in a hurry, next time I go to the junk yards here with 57's I can look
sprink88... that would be awesome... looking for a clean pair,right and left
I'll look at my old ones when I get out there to look for that sunvisor delete.
See all the fun your having. If you had bought a '57 C....y, you'd just get to refill your wallet and call your C...y parts guy for whatever you need. No fun, no challenge, no walking miles of swap meet aisles, no nightly viewing of latest ebay offerings.....and you'd get to compare yours to 20 or 30 others at the next show.

HA HA HA....Yes Rich.... yes indeed.
No repro's yet but,
most eastern/northern ones should be ok.
Ron.
Thank you Ron..I have located what I needed!
I can not seem to find any chrome replacements for my switch housings. The ones in my Ranchero are painted red and are badly faded and flakeing. Any help in finding some chrome ones would be greatly appreciated.

I pulled mine out of the "not using" boxes to send to Jeff, but I was so slow he found some others. You're welcome to mine if you want them. I'll take some pics and post them later. Good driver quality, but the oem painted area needs a respray.
Rich
Vw...here's some pics of what I have. I tried to photograph them so all the little scratches and pits showed. Repaint the inner areas and they'd make a fair driver quality. If it we me, I'd replate them. Anyhow, if you want them, let me know.
You may want these so you can get them refinished and repainted to minimize downtime on your '57. PM me your address if you want them.
Rich
YES I want them!
that was quick....pm me your address and give me a couple days to get them packed and to the post office.
Got your address. I'll let you know when I get it to the post office.
Rich.. wanna thank you for doing this... ended up I did not need them and very glad you helped out a fellow member.....Sorry about the late response....I thought work was giving me a bit of a break...but it has kept me hopping.....
Alas.. my planned Texas Trip and Mass. trip is on Hold...... oh well... work comes first.
For anyone who doesn't know, Macs has the gaskets that go on the back. I was surprised they were available when I installed mine..
