So whats the smart thing to do? Start another restoration project!
So do you have a pic of the plate?

I can't get air thru mine and I don't think it comes apart. I,d like to shift my diff going down the road some time. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,960 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,960 | A Bendix TW-1 valve will do the work. It can either be mounted in the dash as is, or if originality is desired, it could be rigged to be operated by the original linkage. http://www.bendixvrc.com/itemDisplay.asp?documentID=2648 | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 476 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 476 | No hope of ever finding a original replacement valve ? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,398 Camp Commandant | | Camp Commandant Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,398 | I would start by putting an add in the swap meet. Who knows, someone out there may be parting a truck out or have a parts truck handy. Seems like I saw one on Ebay a while back.
Good luck.
