hey guys ive been re-wireing everything rear of the cab on my 61 2 ton. got everything cleaned up and learned that the switch itself behinde the wheel is bad, i was wondering if anyone had a part number or a parts store number...........i called my local napa and they were unable to help me becouse of the age of the truck

 

C2TZ-13341-D (replaced C1TF-13341-J & C1TF-13341-K) .. T/S Switch / Obsolete

Applications: 1961/65 F100/250 4WD / 1961/66 F350/600 / 1961/66 F700/1100 (except tractor-trailer) / 1963/66 N/NT500/1100 / 1966 F250 4WD.

Several days ago, another member asked for this switch. I found 8 NOS at 3 sources.

When the member called all the sources, he claimed 2 didn't have any, the 3rd wanted too much money.

I called one of the sources (who showed 3), they were out of stock. I called another, got their voice mail. Maybe you'll have better luck.

USD INC. in Phoenix AZ (called, got their voice mail) has 2 = 602-774-4809 (webpage last updated 4/24/2012).

MUSTANGS ETC in Van Nuys CA (member said too much money) has 3 = 818-787-7634 (webpage last updated 3/12/2012).

 

thanks bill i shure appreciate it......would this switch have been used in anything else, posibly later? whats the probablility of calling napa with that number and haveing any luck?

 

There are a few more truck applications for this switch that I didn't list (B series school busses, H/HT series & C Series Tilt Cabs), but there is no listing for this switch after 1966.

NAPA can cross reference Ford part numbers over to the brands they sell. But, this all depends on 3 factors.

1) If they have the original paper parts catalogs (usually stashed under the counter). The thing is...to get the parts clucks to actually look in them!

2) If the info is listed on their computers. May/may not be, may not predominates.

3) And...most important...if the parts clucks give a damn! Most could care less.

When a situation like this arises here in LA LA Land, I usually tell people to contact Engler Brothers Auto Parts in Santa Monica, the best dang indie autoparts store for older vehicles.

 

Good luck with that. I tried this route years ago. The only place to get them was the local Ford dealer or the wrecking yard. I doubt many Ford dealers will show a listing for this switch either. Probably only the ones Bill says do. Bills got it down your NAPA will let you down if you go there looking for this switch. Try Toms Flashback F100s he may have a good used one to sell. If not keep an eye on ebay they do show up there from time to time. Dont know what to much is as far as that supplier that had some but be prepared to pay through the nose if you find one nos. Good luck.

 

Finding a parts "cluck" that can read a catalog is a whole 'nother story/

 

If the column is similar to a 61 f100 2wd, then you can fit a later switch pretty easily. When it's done, most people won't know the difference. If the column is different, then I can't help.
