It's a hunt for now.  Every now and then a guy on ebay posts an NOS set for around 180-200 or so..Keep your eyes open...

posted & have still been looking for one for about 5 mos.

I'm curious...are these caps a few of you are looking for chrome or stainless.

Rich:

Since they develop rust pits, they have to be plated.  '58s are the same except the relief area is painted gold instead of white.  John

Smurfee, you mentioned the lettering on yours was different than others.  I thought they were all the same.  Can you post a picture?  Also, Lou, can you weigh in on this?

[Zapato]

Are the differences year specific or were they caused by different suppliers? Wondering as I had a 66 Fairlane GT and found 3 slightly different instrument panels during that time, subtle enough that no one would notice.  Figured Ford had more than one vendor supplying parts. And these were found all on GTs.

I remember while back Smurfee posting pictures that showed the noticeable differences. This is the kind of stuff that drives restorers crazy not so much hotrodders.
