Pressure Brake Switch
I need to replace the pressure brake switch on my '66 F-100. after replacing the switch, do I need to bleed my brakes?

I've replaced the switches a few times without having to bleed the brakes at all. No issues came up as a result. Your mileage may vary...

I agree, no need to bleed the brakes.
