scottwetzel Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yes that is what I was wondering, is it just painted or some kind of vinyl? It's actually a metal panel with paint on it from the factory. It's a pain in the to cut thru!!

Popular Post keg1 Posted March 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2015 Gauges look great. I bought new ones for my Superliner but they didn't have everything I needed so I sent 4 of my old ones out to California and had them redone to match. Just got them back today. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39271-put-new-gauges-and-switches-in-the-superlinerwhat-do-u-think/page/2/#findComment-283083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

keg1 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 They are painted somehow to look like wood. The upholstery shop that covered my dash pad did them.

keg1 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Did the extension fit tight on the toggle switch? I bought some chrome ones for my R and they are to big. All of the ones I'm finding are 1/4 inch ID and that's to big. I know years ago they made a couple different sizes.

Lmackattack Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 i bought some green plastic toggles and I had to put a dab of rubber calk in them to get them to have a "tight" fit.Other wise they would slide right off and flop around on the toggle. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39271-put-new-gauges-and-switches-in-the-superlinerwhat-do-u-think/page/2/#findComment-284104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

b615rich Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Got five of these on eBay. $15 each. Not as easy to use as a toggle, but look period correct on the B. For headlights, marker, back up, interior. The guy was good to deal with and had a lot of switches etc. MrDash?
