door light switch

OK this might sound odd but my truck doesn't seem to have the switches that would turn on the dome light. Is there a way to add this option to my truck?

Are you sure? They're supposed to be on the inside door jamb wherenthe hinges are... perhaps they were removed and never reinstalled. Look for wiring inside behind the fenders.

Looking at the doors I see two screw holes on both jams, but cannot find any wiring at all

The switches were an option, so not all trucks have them.

Those were a lot more simple times. Back in the days of ordering your vehicle by the order sheet. Not like it is today where things are grouped together. I remember when I was just a Lad my Dad test drove a 2 year old 71 Cuda. Between the paint,vinyl roof,and interior it was White,Gold,and Orange.

See this thread Char. I had posted the wiring schematic and ND Bill had posted the pic out of a Ford catalog of the switches and their brackets.

The brackets attach in the two small holes on the upper and lower right of the center oval cutout.

It's Gaudin Ford, silverstatefordparts.com is their online name. Nevada is known as the Silver State.

The thing is, the switch is available from Ford, so Gaudin or any other FoMoCo dealer can order them.
