Hey Mike,
'57-'59 switches are one in the same EXCEPT the terminals
and the bezels/switch chrome. The '57-'59 switches use bullet type
connectors while the pre '57 switches used the screw down post connectors.
They are rebuilt in the same fashion and the parts for the most part
interchange. I've rebuilt several '57-'59 switches for my own car and
rebuilt some ones I got from Hoffmeister ( using only what I needed and
sending him back what I didn't + built him some usable ones out of the spare
left overs). Now I have a complete working set and just received my chrome
bezels an switch levers back from Pauls Chrome. It's so nice to have a fully
functional (and attractive) switches again. That's about it for those. Great
job on your post!
Take Care,
Frank
