Dodge_48 Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 I’ve been looking on eBay, and I ran a wanted add on this site for a Choke knob for a B1 (‘48-‘49), but am not having any luck. Anyone know of a source? I included a pic of a head light knob for those who aren’t sure what they look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ebay description says they're new knobs but they look used.... No mention of what material they are made from (if really new).... looks like raw steel.

Lingle Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 per the listing they are by MoPar-Pro and new knobs, though look like possibly cleaned up used ones. interesting for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-T-53 Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 If going to all the trouble of making new knobs why not finish them? Or make out of stainless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Control Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 I agree the reproduction knobs do not look like the original. Used choke cables are out there, few and far in between though .... seems they get used a lot and replaced over the years. I can only say what I'm going to do. I have not actively searched for the choke cable .... bigger things to worry about first. I did have a chance to pick one up for a 50's Chebby truck .... not correct but it is period correct and looks better then the cable from the 90's that is in it now. In my defense, summit was having a clearance sale and I went there mainly for a set of Flowtech chrome headers for a flathead Ford V8 Flowtech discontinued them, I image they sold for $250-$300 .... I got them for $40 Same time they had pages and pages of great deals. I picked up license plate/tail light brackets, brake hardware & springs, wiring pig tails .... all kinds of random crap .... I think the choke cable was $4. I got a huge package delivered with all kinds of goodies in it for about $75 including headers. So thats my post, use a get me buy until you find the one you want .... possibly make one that is unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1B Keven Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Grab a knob off of a glove box. They're blank. Use it 'till you can find a 'choke' knob or maybe have it engraved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge_48 Posted July 18 Author Report Share Posted July 18 Yah I’ve got a spare one of those. I think I’ve found a guy on Facebook who has an extra choke knob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
