1957 Ford parts liquidation

It looks different.

Got a good pic of one?  Wonder how much different they could be.  Can't find a good pic of a '57 one but I have a '56 one in a car.  In the snow.  In the woods.  In the dark.  Probably some big pissed off moose hangin' around in there too.

Here ya go Tom....

Here ya go Tom....

I take it that that is not the steering wheel on your car.
Edit: Oops!  Sorry, Blue, thought I was responding to Ecode.
*******************
Like the other dark pix I have seen I can not make out the detail of the ribs on the spokes. Except for the horn button I expected those wheels to be very much the same as the '56 ones   But that little kink in the spokes just below those ribs?  Hmm ...  that don't look right.

Well, you, (Ecode), forced me to go out in the woods in the snow & dark to see again what that poor old rusting away, plain Jane '56 Ford Ranch Wagon's steering wheel looked like.
Wasn't confronted by any big pissed off moose though.     

Yup, no kink in the spokes.  Oh, well.

Looks like nature is beginning to take over on that car

Do you have any good front fender tip pot metal horse shoe pieces. I need good ones with mounting studs
I would like to chrome them, I have two that can be repairedand glued in place

[gasman826]

No, all I have are glue or stud repair quality.

I'm new to the forum and late to the party but thought I'd check anyway. Any chance you have a pair of arm rests?

[gasman826]

Sure!  I have a couple of pairs.  I'll look 'em up and take pictures.  They're NOT grey.

I need a speedometer head for a '57 ford, do you have one, and how much shipped to 75426.  thanks, Michael

[gasman826]

What I said about the arm rests...forget it.  I have four arm rests...not two pair and one IS grey.
There are two '57 arm rests but they are both for the right side...one willow and the other light blue.
There is a pair of charcoal grey (right and left) but they are not '57.  The screw spacing is correct so they will fit BUT ARE NOT '57.

I have one instrument cluster left.  I took it out of a dash this morning.  I tested the speedo and odometer.  I also tested the constant voltage relay (gauge regulator) and both gauges.  Every thing works.  I can not guarantee the accuracy but they pass bench tests.  No harness.  Dirty.  Not very good chrome.  These have recently sold on eBay for $25-65 shipped, untested, unrestored.  $30 shipped First Class to your door.  PM me for PayPal account ID or US POSTAL money order.

Gasman, the blue & green ones sure look like left armrests to me!  The ribs go toward the front.
I have seen some pix here where someone had them mounted on the wrong sides.
I would be happy to trade you a a right side armrest for one of those.  They are about in the same shape as yours.  One green, one black.

[57chero]

You are correct the 57,s are left side.

I'll shoot you a PM for the instrument cluster. Thanks.

Any idea on chances of success for dyeing the plastic on an armrest? Mine is in great shape, except the inner attachment part is broken. So I have no armrest on the driver's side back door.

 Hi guys  :

    How much for the driver side fender tip horse shoe piece

[Gibbo]

Hi, do you have a set of wipers for a hardtop? Would need to be posted to Australia.
