I have seen the chrome one on a handful of cars but mainly red. The switch was missing on my Roadrunner 30 years ago when I bought it and back then I just put on a chrome.

The correct red lever body will have this number 2947776 silk screened on. Heater switch body does not have this but a different number cast into it but will do the job.

I've had 3 or 4 air grabber cars over the years and they all had red switches. I've got the correct red one to install on my Roadrunner. Anyone need a chrome heater switch? It works great. 1968 Barracuda Fastback 318-2BBL 904 2.76 Frost Blue Survivor 1970 Roadrunner 440+6 BBL 727 AT 4.10 SG Dana Blue Fire Metallic 1971 Cuda 340-4 BBL 4spd 3.91 SG Curious Yellow 1972 Barracuda 318-2 BBL 904 AT 3.23 1 Legger Tor Red/White Vinyl Top 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi AT Patriot Blue 2011 Dodge Challenger RT 5.7 Hemi 6spd 392 SG Triple Black 2014 Dodge Charger RT Max AWD 5.7 Hemi AT 305 Billet Silver
