As part of the restoration of my '41 pickup, I'll be removing the dash for clean up and painting. I'll need to remove the choke and throttle knobs to get the dash out, but they appear brittle and potentially easily broken. How do the knobs come off? Do they simply unscrew from the cables or are they molded on, requiring the removal of the whole cable?

You'll probably have to remove the whole cable. If the '41s are like my '38 the knobs are molded to a shaft that then has a wire crimped into the end. The wire & shaft are then inserted into the cable. The whole cable is easy to remove, just unscrew the nut on the back side of the dash.

Thanks. I did as Tiny suggested and it turned out to be an easy task to remove the knobs and cables without any problems.
