Steering column cap

[duggar]

Has anyone ever seen a source to get the cap that fits over the steering column. It is like a hood that that covers and fills in the gap between the steering column and the instrument cluster. I have never seen one for sale. It is made out of plastic or bake lite. Mine is completly disintergrated. Any sources or suggestions? PN: 23-33-132

I packed away all my parts books, but I believe you are referring to the filler that goes between steering column and dashboard. Age and sunlight turn these things to dust. Best bet is to track down a parts car up here in tne Northwest (Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington). John Fowlie (Big M) occasionally pulls salvage cars from around these parts.
I did not have an easy time finding an intact one.

Dugger - You question prompted me to check and see if I had on on my convertible but alas, none was there. Luckly the one on my red and white car was OK. I doubt if you will find one, good luck. I think one nite when watching TV I will try to fashion one out of a aluminum soda can.

Thats what I was talking about. If I had an example or a good picture I know someone might could fabricate one out of metal. If someone could email me a good close up picture one (duggar11@yahoo.com) I could see if my friend could make one. I don't think there are any for sale. Its one of those things that when its missing it just doesn't look right.

We might have a couple of them but I have to look them up.

We have 1 brown cover for sure

[duggar]

Mathew - I need a brown one.

I will try to find them tomorrow!

Did I already asked for some info and pics, VIN number and a pic of the data plate of your 59 for my register?

[duggar]

I have pictures posted in the Showcase. White 59 Sport Fury. The car has been improved on a lot since those pictures were posted. I will post some newer pictures on the show your ride section but I have't figured out how to post pictures yet. Give me your email and I will send some pictures direct to you.

Matthew - I'll take one, any color.

I'll try to find them tomorrow, let's see what we have as I'm not sure.

My dads one still needs to be mounted and that one is also somewhere in storage

As I am spinning my wheels here, it makes me consider starting in to making molds and reproduction parts
