xdudebrahx Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Plastic/hard rubber switch extenders. I can only find the chrome ones. These have a round hole in the bottom and they just pop on and off the toggle switch. I like the old school look and I want to buy a set for my R.

Popular Post other dog Posted October 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2013 Up well into the 80's just about every truckstop you went in had an aisle with every kind of shift knob, adapters, extensions, and switch covers you could imagine. If I only knew- I would have bought a pickup load of them and put them in the deep freeze. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

I found them on eBay, but you had to buy them in 5 packs, but I only need two short and two long. This should do!Iowa 80 only has the chrome ones, and honestly I find them gaudy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a company truck and I don't want to be messing around with it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I know its 8 months away but. If you go to Macungie at Matt Phal's trailer there is a box full of them along with glitter shift knobs.The extensions were very reasonable. Joe D.

One is a short red one and it fits the short engine brake switch so tightly that it pops when you pull it off. The other is a long blue one that I put on the long lift axle switch, but it's broken on the end so it's fairly loose. Maybe you could wrap a bit of scotch tape around the toggle switch before you put the extensions on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I only knew- I would have bought a pickup load of them and put them in the deep freeze.Yup Tom It wasn't all that long ago you could find them in the truck stops .When We bought the Red Sleigh (87 R Dump ) back in the mid 90's I remember I went to W. Memphis to buy a radio for the truck & I always deal w/ the cb shop behind the Petro . after leaving cb shop I went to the petro & bought the switch extensions there along w/ a couple of Red Glitter Shift knobs for the 2 stick 6 spd .I also used to find them @ Long town truck stop @ Exit 35 on I-40 & the Pilot @ exit 42 on I-40 But they are even hard to find there anymore @ either truck stop .
