1963 F100 wiper switch
I am in need of one of these wiper switches,,ole fart Jimmy
This is NOT a part number, it's the ID ENGINEERING number marked on the part itself, and its suffix is missing.
There are NO Ford part numbers marked on parts after 1956, just ID Engineering or casting numbers...when applicable.
(sigh) Since the numbers suffix is missing, how can you say that?
There are FIVE different C3TB-17A553 ID ENGINEERING numbers:
C3TB-17A553-A .. C3TB-17A553-B .. C3TB-17A553-E .. C3TB-17A553-F.. C3TB-17A553-G
These ID ENGINEERING numbers cross reference to THREE different wiper switch part numbers.
Marked with ID engineering number: C3TB-17A553-G = Ford part number: C3TZ-17A553-G .. Single Speed Wiper Switch-5 terminals (Motorcraft SW-722) / Obsolete
Applications: 1963/66 F100/600 & N600 / No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.
A year or so ago, FTE member 65GH needed one of these switches. Just like today, no one had any
After some research, it was determined that C3UZ-17A553-C (1963/66 Econoline single speed-5 terminals/marked C3UB-17A553-C) will work in place of C3TZ-17A553-G.
There are 5 of these switches available NOS / If interested, will type the sources.

This is the THIRD time you've typed this question on this topic over the past two days in 2 different forums.
I responded to the one in the Large Truck forum.
No one had this switch NOS 1/06/2012 (post 12 in this thread), no one has any at this time either.

I tried to warn you...
But, don't go. If you read the posts again nobody is being mean to you. NumberDummy has 56,000+ posts and is super helpful to everyone on here, but probably doesn't like repeating himself too much when it can easily be avoided...I could tell that from reading posts before I ever typed anything. He likes to use emoticons, colors, bolding and uppercase, but if you don't put any weight on those attributes then he's just a normal grumpy old guy like the rest of us.
If the parts are or aren't available NOS he's the guy to let you know.
You're best hope now is a used switch. No better place to find used parts for 1961-1966 Ford trucks than right here. But, good used parts from these trucks are almost as tough to find as new ones. I find when I buy used parts they are often in about the same shape as the used part I already had in my hand, which could be unserviceable.

When you asked this question in the Large Truck forum, I responded and gave you the info. Then I said please type further questions in the 1961/66 forum.
You did create a new thread in this forum asking for this switch, but you also this thread (its last response was typed in post #16 on 7/7/2012) asking for this switch again.
The thing is, others may not know that you've typed this question three times.
Some members won't see a response by me, so...will refer you to me, because over the past 8 years...I've located more obsolete parts for peeps than all the other members of FTE (595,000+) combined!

First time was 6/2008 to attend the F100 Western Nationals truck show held in Anaheim. Second time was in 2011 when he came to LA LA Land to buy a particular car.
I know that Don is ill...and while he hasn't mentioned what the illness is, I believe that if he doesn't take care of himself, it will be fatal.

Sorry to bug you about this again but I need a wiper switch for my 1963 Camper Special M100 (Mercury but same as F100 as your probably aware. I see where someone said they can be opened and cleaned. I'll try that first but my question is since they don't make them anymore is there such a thing as a universal switch? If so, who might carry them. LMC has them but you have to buy the whole kit which is way more than I need. Any advice would be appreciated. Put the truck back on the road yesterday but with rainy BC weather not must use still spring. I'd rather not wait. Thanks in advance.
