'65 radiator support bracket; headlight switch

Is there any other year radiator bracket that will fit a '65 F100? I have located a very good one in an earlier Unibody F100, but I'm not sure it will fit.

Also...how do you remove the headlight switch from a '65-'66? I figured the **** would pop right off (like my heater fan one always does), but nope! Seems molded to the rod. I can unscrew the little flat ring holding down the trim ring, but I can't get the **** off to remove the whole assembly.

Hey Robk
There is a small button on top of the switch. You need to push it down and pull on the ****.

"Radiator bracket"-- do you mean the support? The '65 support is unique (join the club),
The Uni rad support uses the rounded inner fenders, to start with. Then the battery is mounted on the firewall. then the radiator is a different size...
So you get the idea.

If it's the same as the '64 it will work if you transfer the squarish brackets that attach to the inners.
