Title: Sure could use some help
Post by: gene lewis on August 08, 2010, 02:51:07 PM
I am building a replacement dash for my 1968 Eagle, Model 05
and could use some assistance from the BusNut community.

I am looking a source for: Defroster Vents and a Goose Neck Light
(as pictured in the attached picture – or something similar.)
as well as a source on A/C vents – single as well as double. 

Do U know of a year and auto model that these could be salvaged from.


I am not certain the picture is here -- Kinda at a loss.

Don't know about the defrost vents, but the light is a Hella map light....

Gene, first of all, what a neat conversion of a stock Eagle dash.  Adding the "topper" really changes the looks.

As far as the defroster vents, the stock Eagle has something just like that.  At least the 10 does.  I would guess that you could also find them in a RV wrecking yard.  If you make it to the Eagle rally in Branson, then you can go to the Hick's rally in Carthage and there is supposed to be a big RV wrecking yard there (surprisingly Denver does not have one that has any significant motorhomes)

If you locate a RV that has what you want you can just call Colaw RV parts and they will send you the part from a wrecked RV -- it is the rv Salvage yard near Carthage Mo referenced earlier.
