28 years ago, the p/m at Gaudin was the p/m at Woodland Hills L/M while I was the p/m of Lynch L/M in Santa Monica.
There are some things that are so funny, one never forgets...
In 1988, FoMoCo opened up the Commerce parts depot for LA Zone Parts & Service reps, Ford & L/M p/m's to take a tour.
A guy driving a fork lift whizzed around a corner in the warehouse, clipped a rack holding 100's of 16138's.
The rack fell over spilling all the supports in a huge heap, while we all ran in various directions.
One of the p/m's taking the tour said: "Now we know the reason why we get damaged sheet metal!"

I think the next time I run up to the pick n puk i'll snag me a set off a bronco or something. You know I was thinking that I could use a n.o reed switch and magnet as well. if I wanted to hide the switch better.

Quick question. If the truck doesn't have the door switches, does it have a dome light inside?
BTW, the switches themselves are $10 at rockauto. Don't grab them from a junkyard. Some years back the plastic that held drivers side switch in place crumbled from age and the switch fell into the jamb, kept the light on, and killed my battery. So I saved money and got one from the junkyard and installed it. Guess what happened?
Slapped myself upside the head and got new ones. A wise man once told me "One pays for an education".
