I was able to buy a new old stock 3 speed heater switch for my truck but I can't find any information about a nut or threaded polished stainless beauty ring to mount the switch to the factory dash location. Anybody have any information on this topic? Any advice would be helpful and greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is this for your GMC?

Do you have the recirulating heater or the deluxe fresh air heater?

Can you post a picture of what you have...

3 speed or three position, 1 being OFF? Don't know of a three speed switch on 57. Must NOT be deluxe because mounting of that needs no nut.
Is it like this?

The GMC 2 speed switch is very similar. The standard fan switch was mounted on a heater delete plate. I think GMC had stenciling on the plate and on Chevy the knob was marked?
BTW: welcome back after 4 years?

Kenneth, I picked up a retaining nut that holds the switch on the panel today. If you need it, PM me your mailing address and I'll send it to you...free.

The retainer is circular, measuring 5/8 in diameter and 1/4 tall. It has 4 slots in the side (to use for tightening). The threads are inside. It sits under the knob and would be polished or chrome plated.
