turn signal switch

My turn signal switch has went bad in my 78. Where is the cheapest place you all have found to get one of these? and have you all had much success with replacing just the the plastic assembly for ten bucks from advance auto, or just go ahead and do it right and replace the whole thing.

Shop your local parts stores, about $60 is the best you'll do, i believe all those TSS are made by Shee-Mar inc.

Like N.D. said there are 3 different ones .... B & C I've found on E-gay , The A model is harder to locate and mucho $$$ .... If you need the tilt one, Here is a link that i ordered from ....
Lighting Parts - Turn Signal Switch and Mounting Plate : 1948 - 1979 Ford Pickup Online Catalog - Page 103 : Obsolete & Classic Auto Parts Online Catalog
Give it a sec to down load ... pg 103. There is a typo in the description of the D8TZ-13341-A model ....

Not sure why the A is cheaper thru these guys .... Havent got it yet so cant comment on the quality
