Aluminum Windshield and Light replacement *****

I made these ***** for my truck as I didn't like the plastic ones. I've had quite a few inquiries into them and wanted to post here to see if anyone would like a set. For the two I'm asking $25 plus shipping. Let me know if any of you guys want some. Thanks, Dale

I like them but how are they staying on the shaft?

I use set screws. The shafts already have flats on them so it works great.

Just received mine. They look great and fit like factory but look so much better.



Highly recommended! Well worth the $25!

Could they serve as factory radio ***** as well? That way, all of the ***** would match. You might want to consider making HVAC control *****....keeping with the theme.
If You tried to fail and succeeded....then You succeeded in failure. It's just that simple.

My factory radio broke years ago so couldn't tell but I'll see if I can find out. It's bored 3/16" so anything that size and smaller should work. If you know the radio control shaft size let me know and I can tailor to fit.

My son's Highboy is getting a set next. I also am dabbling in gear shifters to match the same style so a full set would be an option.

Without exact measurements, the radio stems seem to be close (by eyeball anyway) to the switch stems. I'm thinking you're ***** will work with the on/off and tuning radio *****. I'm thinking your ***** will work with most '70's thru '80's D shafts given your set screw configuration. Nice work !

You should try to sell these on OBN. What else can you make?
I don't what the hold up was with shipping. I've got a part thats been hung up in PA for the last 2 days now coming from WA.

I can make most of anything as I have a full machine shop, wood shop and sheet metal equipment. Time is biggest factor...and people willing to buy what I make

I have a few other things I've made for my truck. I'll take some pics of and post

I was having issue with my login not working on OBN and just never sorted it out. Might have to re-register a new account as the password reset just always sent me a blank email.

Here are some door kick panels I made from stainless. I'm planning on selling these and just haven't worked out details on price. Was thinking $100 plus shipping for the two door set. I have a crew cab so made a set for the rear as well. Sorry for the pictures not being perfect. iPhone shot and this is after a few years of 3 boys and a wife being "gentle" on them.
