66 Ranchero knobs
 

Can anyone recall if the original knobs in the Ranchero were black plastic or chrome. My radio and headlight knobs are black. Can't find a lighter knob. Ken

Just looked and my headlight knob and lighter are black on the OD with a chrome center. Can't tell you about the radio knobs, they are in a different storage area (Ihope).

Thanks Dave. I thought as much. Radio knobs are same style. Does your lighter knob screw off ? I have found some Ford knobs are not detachable. Do you happen to have a spare? Ken

I haven't gone out and checked if it screws off or not. First day all week with no rain and finally above 70 degs - that means mowing the big yard and painting fence. Did a quick look at Dearborn Classics and they have nothing, even for the '67'' Fairlanes. Sounds like going to be a fun search maybe.

1966 Falcon Ranchero
 

The lighter knob was only sold with the element, was not available by itself.

Only the element was available by itself. To remove the element from the knob, hold the element with one hand, unscrew the knob with the other.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has ONE = 800-543-4959.

MILLER OBSOLETE PARTS in Binghamton NY has ONE = 607-722-5371.

Wasn't the 66 Rancheros the same as the 65-66' F-100s ? Black knobs with chrome trims with the word 'lighter'. on it. The knobs do unscrew pretty easy, at least the ones I have do. The element usually burn out. Most were actually used. Go figure.

1961/66 F100/1100 lighter knob/element: C1TZ-15052-A.

1964/65 Falcon lighter knob/element: C4DZ-15052-A.

1966 Falcon lighter knob/element: C6DZ-15052-A.

1961/66 F100/1100 lighter element: C1TZ-15054-A.

1964/66 Falcon & 1965/66 Mustang lighter element: C4DZ-15054-A.

So, not only are the knobs different but so are the elements. The trucks have a white insert in the knob, the Falcon knob insert is chrome. The Mustang knob is all chrome.

Me thinks your memory is on the "fritz!" :)
