I’ve got the gas pedal in my car and am on the hunt for the little one for the dimmer. Makes the car.

I’m a bit of a hoarder. If one is good three is better wether you need it or not.

I had the “Goofy foot” gas pedal and dimmer in my old ‘72 F250. Loved the gas pedal, dimmer not so much. If you hit the dimmer anything less than a perfect flat hit, it would torque the switch and cause it to jam. I eventually pulled it off.

My power wagon was like that without the lil foot. Replaced switch a few times. I made a wedge,corrected the angle and never replaced the switch again...
The fargo will rarely be out at night so no worries there.

What’s that from? Looks like a ‘51 Studebaker Champion hood ornament.

Think so. Single headlamp? Thats all i remember.

 

[Tooljunkie]

Looking at photos, i guess it was a champion. All i remember was the center part that could have been a headlight.

The ‘51 Chamion looks like this. That hood ornament always sticks in my mind because of the gently curved up wing tips.

 

[Tooljunkie]

Wonder if its still there. Was way in the bush where i used to target practice.

 

[Ddaddy]

Either way, it should look pretty cool on the Fargo!

I have a blue "Its a Boy!" lapel button that was given to my mom at the hospital when I was born. Its in my tool box and has been in there since I remember having tools.
