Interchangeable parts
There is a vintage mustange shop near me that I've been getting parts for my 66 from. The parts guy there isn't very knowledgeable on f100's so he doesn't really know what parts are interchangeable between the two so I was wondering if someone on here knew which parts I can easily swap between the two especially if the wiper switches and motors are.

I don't know if you are a modifier guy, but you can get a switch out of a 79 XLT with Delay, and get delay wipers. You do have to buy the module, and the motor, but delay wipers is nice, and it looks stock.

Some electrical parts are the same, mostly under the hood. Possibly trans parts, depending on which one you have. Besides that, next to nothing is the same.

Where in CA do you live?

I dunno which one it is, I listed the TWO possibiles. You'll have to look at the wiring harness' plug to see which switch it takes.

After looking in my parts books Bill is right...except the governor is a 73-77 part(D3TZ17C476A). On 78-79 its a D8TZ17C476A...
On your wipers... I have the C3TZ17C455G single speed 5 terminal switch.

If there is no switch present, then look at the harness:
The factory two speed connector is a female 4-wire, "Vee-shaped" connector, while the single speed connector is a flat, 3-wire (two female, one male) connector.

NOS PARTS SOURCE in Olathe KS has ONE = 913-220-5746.
HIGH BUCK!! BOB ALLEN FORD in Overland Park KS has ONE = 800-676-0675.
MILLER OBSOLETE PARTS in Binghamton NY has ONE = 607-722-5371.
No other Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.
I typed this same info several days ago, as another member was looking for this same switch, so one of the four listed above has most likely been sold.
Make SURE you need the two speed switch, because if it's wrong, you are prolly STUCK with it. Most sources will not take back obsolete parts once they are sold.
And...no one that I'm aware of, will take back electrical parts, obsolete or not.
