I need the switch cover or trim for my 80 Chev with the early style switch

I don't know the difference between early and late, but you can have mine if it's the one you need. Mine is an '80 Cheyenne. Give me a description or a picture and I will help you if I can. Take care, Mike

The later one says on it "Depress Fully" and is on a rocker so it always returns to a center position. The earlier one, the switch is either on left or right. I cant remember what it says on it. Unfortunatly i dont have any pics, does anyone else.....?

i bought a new one from o'reillys about a year ago seems like it was $10.00. atleast it will be new and you don get caught with a full tank and can't use it (speaking from expirience) damn it sucked too it was about 3:00am on the highway.

im talking about the cover, not the switch. I had to break my old cover off to get the switch out. I ordered a switch from GM expecting to get a cover with it, but no luck.

I will be more than happy to send it to you if you can tell me how to get it off without breaking it. Let me know and I will help you out, Mike
