'69 restoration

Retoring my '69 and have the following questions.

1. Where can I get an emergency flasher switch? This one is located in the glove box and I can find no reference for it. It doesn't appear to be aftermarket.

2. On the rear axle where the brake line comes to a 'tee', there is a third outlet that appears to be some tiye of a bleeder. Any ideas on it? It has a ruber hose attached to it.

3. Any good sources for the clips that hold on the chrome mouldings on the side? Can't find any and I need to replace a dozen or so.

4. Any good sources for the door armrests? These are the ones that have a cutout to allow for the inside door handle.

5. Has anyone tried to put an electric antenna in theirs? I am not going to restore to total stock as I want to make it comfortable.

6. On that note, any suggestions for aftermarket air conditioners? It gets to be around 110 here in the summer and it sure would be nice to roll up the windows while on the freeway. I get really tired of that 270 AC.

Thanks for your input/suggestions.

Wade - I have a 75 F100 that I have been modifying. In another posting you asked about a CD player. I installed a new deck in my pickup without any real trouble. I bought the deck then measured to see what size hole I needed to cut into the dash and heater control brace. Cut the holes and made a panel to go between the face of the deck and the dash to give it a custom look.
As far as A/C I would look into Vintage Air or www.oldairproducts.com.

1- not sure
2- is a vent
3- paint/ auto body shop supply house
4- try Dennis Carpenter
5- power antenns have more unseen that seen, find a place that will hold it all
6- Vintage Air and a couple others that excape me now. Try the big swap meets, Carlisle, Pigeon Forge, There may be another big one in Texas in a couple of weeks they are there. Don't know where you are?

I have to give red68ranger "Dan" a thumbs up for the 4 way switch, What other board could you come to and actually have a guy offer you a switch he no longer needs?, What great members we have here

i actually just put a power antenna in my 69. I went to a car audio shop and got an antenna. But you need a shorty antenna to clear the passenger side vent. Other than that it's pretty easy to install.. would be easier w/ the seat out.
