FATTER heater buttons

[Bob Jordan]

We had been grabbing spare parts for the 64 Plymouth when we could find them and we wound up with an extra set of controls - the vacuum switch and the green buttons. We'll have the switch rebuilt for a spare but I just noticed that these buttons that at first look seem identical to our originals are bigger in the up and down direction - so they will not fit through the four bezel rectangles on our 64. Does anyone know which cars used the fatter switches? I can measure them if necessary. Once I find out what they are I will post them for sale here. Thanks OK I just measured them and WITH the chrome sleeve they are 0.40" high and 0.80" wide. They appear almost like new with nice white lettering.

They did vary through the years. I've been picking them up at Carlisle, for a while, hoping to have some good ones for my projects. I can check my '65 to see what those are...

I bought a set of shifter buttons from a '64 New Yorker, I think it was. They were different from '64 Plymouth, but I don't remember if they were bigger or smaller. I still have them - would have to look at them to remember.

Maybe it was the fat fingers option

The Chrysler buttons are pretty narrow height wise... Probably 5/16 tall & about 1" wide...
