I don't know about you but I hate floppy HVAC registers in old cars. I've found that the side registers were available but not the center one. I did have one whose vanes were ok but up and down they flopped all over the place.
The culprit was these little black bearing points:
They were...
Original to the truck. No broken pieces. The one with the clock surround has some marks where I removed the wood overlay many, many moons ago. DS Left is a bit wobbly and may not stay in position. Nothing a toothpick can’t fix.
All tabs in place and ready for immediate installation.
$10 for...
DS ones on either side of the gauge cluster. Good working condition and relatively new. See pics noting minor damage. Kids…. Free pickup or + shipping.
One is better than the other. Better here for free than in the bin straight away, right?
