Has anyone seen any original radio knobs that are black plastic to match the other plastic knobs? Have found a radio and speaker to add to my 59, but all of the other dash knobs in the truck are plastic so the chrome knobs might stand out. Curious to see what others have seen and/or are using. Thanks.

Can you still call it a barn find if it's your barn? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2019 Posts: 4,472 AD Addict & Tinkerer | | AD Addict & Tinkerer Joined: Feb 2019 Posts: 4,472 | I just painted my steering wheel on my ‘52 with black Rustoleum Appliance epoxy spray paint. If looks and feels just like plastic.
Maybe if you can’t find black knobs, you could paint them. If you do, let them sit a couple of weeks before you install them. The paint chips really easy before it hardens.
Just a thought!

If you now someone with a 3D printer maybe you could make one yourself. I imagine there are a lot of hard to find parts that could be replaced with 3D printed parts if you could get the specs. | | |
