Need Bronco enlightenment 66 vs 67 dash knobs

[WILDHORSES]

There must be a difference but I see most advertised as 66-67. Who can help by posting a pic of a different than 66.... 1967 Bronco dash knob? Thanks in advance.

Here's a closeup of the '67 knobs. Note the serrations around the perimeter and the flat edge rather than the rounded 68-77 style.

Thanks Todd, I like the 67 lower dash trim in the pic too. I'll have to keep an eye out for some of those knobs. If someone has some they want to part with there is someone looking for them in the classified "parts wanted" section. I could swear I have had a 67 with the early knobs. Anyone else have a 67 with the other style that you know is original?

I had a one owner 1966 built and purchased 1967 model and it had a lot of "66 only" parts, but it had "67 only" knobs on it...

I thought 904Bronco's '67 had the "long" '66 style knobs on it. But I just found pics of when he first got it, and it's got the same knobs as in Todd's pic.

So what else do those 67 "Bronco" knobs fit. Surely FORD did not make a special 67 Bronco only knob right? Well maybe they did it was the 60s after all.;D

Jim & Paul, you've both seen my '67 that I bought from the original owner. It has the one year only '67 knobs. A couple of them are mashed in from pushing them in with a thumb (choke and heater cables). It would be nice to be able to easily find a couple of replacements.

They were in 1967 pickups as well...

Thanks for the help. So in case you are not looking for bone stock 66-77 knobs here is an amazing set of billet knobs you can fit to any year.

Those billet knobs are closer to original 67 knobs than the ones in the post above!

Those are the readily available 66 only and 68-77 knobs. Both differ from the OEM 67 knobs.

How in the heck do you get the old knobs off that don't have set screws? Should I heat up with a heat gun and yank? or cut them with a dremel? don't want to wreck my dash...

Melt the plastic with a cigarette lighter and scrape them off the shafts.

Here is a great website that shows the 66-67, and then the 68-75 dashboard layouts.
