Question Help with electrical

Anybody know where I can get a wiper switch for my 66 F250. Its a custom cab, it has wiper washers, the switch I have gave up the ghost after this last rain, it went out with a shower of sparks. Anyways it looks to have 7 posts on it and Im not really sure if I have a two speed wiper motor or a one speed.
Also would be interested in any sources for new gauge panel, mine is broken and cracked in a few places.

Are you looking for the round gauge panel, or the long oblong one? I have one of the round ones. It came out of my truck, and worked fine. I replaced it with one out of a 75 Bronco, so I could get a full gauge package, Oil, and Alternator.

The Custom Cab instrument panel you're looking for is available from LMC Truck. It's illustration #2 on page 78 of their current catalog FB.46 selling for (I hope you're sitting down for this) $199.95. I got a new one from John's F-Fun Hundreds in Pomona, California for around $150. They are sometimes hard to get hold of on the phone. Try calling around 4:30 pm California time. Your wiper switch problem was discussed in a thread a month or two ago and those switches are hard to find. Your best hope is for Numbers Dummy to come up and try to locate one for you. Good luck.

1966 F100/350 Windshield Wiper Switches.

Some '66's have the windshield washer switch integral with the wiper switch. Some (if equipped) have a separate push button washer switch above the ignition switch. Some have a foot activated floor mounted pump.

1966: Both single & two speed wipers were available. If you can only turn the wiper **** once: Single Speed / Twice: Two Speed.

C3UZ-17A553-C (same as C3TZ-17A553-G) .. Single Speed Wiper Switch-5 terminals / Marked: C3TB-17A553-G or C3UB-17A553-C / (Motorcraft SW-723) / Obsolete

Fits: 1963/66 F100/600 & 1963/66 Econoline / I found (13) NOS (New Old Stock).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C3TZ-17A553-E .. 2 Speed Wiper Switch-4 terminals / Marked: C3TB-17A553-A or C3TB-17A553-E (Motorcraft SW-721) / Obsolete

Fits: 1963/65 F100/350 / 1966 F100/350 before serial number 760,001 (last 6 digits of the VIN) / I found (5) NOS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C6TZ-17A553-B .. 2 Speed Wiper and Windshield Washer Switch-7 terminals / Marked: C6TB-17A553-B (Motorcraft SW-736) / Obsolete

Fits: 1966 F100/350 from serial number 760,001 / I found (37) NOS

Look at the switch you have, post which one it is. I'll list the sources & phone numbers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
The Custom Cab "sweep speedometer" plastic chrome instrument cluster bezel (C5TZ-10838-A) is reproduced by Dennis Carpenter (800-476-9653), who sells it to the other repro parts sellers and the general public.

According to Carpenters 1957/66 truck repro parts catalog, the retail price is: $150.00.
