Speedline Backyard Mechanic Registered: 12/30/01 Posts: 270 Loc: Too far from the ocean	Hi Solo- Yep- That's the correct lighter for Advanced Design trucks, also the correct accessory for 1937-1951 cars and trucks. SPEEDLINE _________________________ "Life is completer in a boat!"

Junkyard Dog Registered: 11/23/01 Posts: 20041 Loc: Eagle Point, Oregon	I don't believe that is the correct assessory lighter for 1951 passenger cars. _________________________ The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

Speedline Backyard Mechanic Registered: 12/30/01 Posts: 270 Loc: Too far from the ocean	Dog- You may be right. The 1950 accessory catalog said 1937-1950. I cross-checked with my 1951 parts catalog and it said the same # up to 1951. I assumed it was the same lighter. SPEEDLINE _________________________ "Life is completer in a boat!"

Junkyard Dog Registered: 11/23/01 Posts: 20041 Loc: Eagle Point, Oregon	Speedline: Yep, they show a picture of the lighter in the 1951 accessory catalog and it is different than the one shown in the photo on this forum. It has a plastic ivory colored knob with a metal insert, just like the one in my car. $\:D$ _________________________ The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

AntiqueMechanic Registered: 12/02/01 Posts: 7721 Loc: Vancouver, WA	Starting in 1951, the cigar lighters in the cars matched the other knobs on the dash. $\:D$ :p $\:\)$ _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!

Mothertrucker Oil Can Mechanic Registered: 01/05/02 Posts: 644 Loc: VCCA # 37127 No Rust Arizona	Solo. It is an original lighter. They are now making a nice repo. cig. lighter that has the same knob as the headlight switch & it looks great. _________________________ VCCA # 37127 http://community.webshots.com/user/mothertrucker101

Mothertrucker Oil Can Mechanic Registered: 01/05/02 Posts: 644 Loc: VCCA # 37127 No Rust Arizona	Speedline. Was the original lighter made by the "Casco " company for GM ? _________________________ VCCA # 37127 http://community.webshots.com/user/mothertrucker101

Speedline Backyard Mechanic Registered: 12/30/01 Posts: 270 Loc: Too far from the ocean	Trucker- I have an NOS 1950 GMC lighter in the box, that is identical in design to the one in the accessory catalog, that has a Casco tag on it. I would imagine that the Chevrolet was made by Casco also. SPEEDLINE _________________________ "Life is completer in a boat!"

Mothertrucker Oil Can Mechanic Registered: 01/05/02 Posts: 644 Loc: VCCA # 37127 No Rust Arizona	Does your NOS GMC Casco lighter have a light which would be hooked in line with the dash lights? ? _________________________ VCCA # 37127 http://community.webshots.com/user/mothertrucker101

Mothertrucker Oil Can Mechanic Registered: 01/05/02 Posts: 644 Loc: VCCA # 37127 No Rust Arizona	Original part # for the Chevy truck cig. lighter & light was 986403 [ this part # was specific for the truck only ]& the instructions included wiring to the headlight switch for the running light in the lighter base. Just curious,what is the part # on that nos GMC lighter box?? _________________________ VCCA # 37127 http://community.webshots.com/user/mothertrucker101
