In looking around, prices seam to be all over the place. Does anyone know if D. Carpenters switches are repros, or who has nos ones? I put a repro in my '66 about 3 years ago and it only lasted a year. This is for my 2wd '66 F100 and my 2wd '64 F250. Are the repair cams any good?
Thanks. john

 

The repro switches are made in China, the auto parts store plastic T/S switch cams can be a real b!tch to install.

NOS Parts - none left, I think, I just bought the last one they had, 120.00 shipped. You wanna think about it, shop around and try to save ten bucks, you say? Guess what, I just bought your part.

Kama - I called. He checked, returned my call and zero available.

Gotta have a parts budget and buy up wear items while they are still available. Give up eating out 3.7 times per week, skip a case or two of beer. Forget about extra cartons of smokes. If I can afford an occasional rare/hard-to-find part, so can you. Or else, maybe you ought not to have the old truck hobby.

Thank You to Number Dummy, the most valuable and under appreciated member on FTE.

Whenever Bill goes to the trouble of looking up an NOS part, and listing the part number, as well as where to buy it, and for God’s sake, even the phone number of the business - often, the people he helps don’t so much as acknowledge his posts, let alone thank him. Or else they either buy the shizzy Chinese version they were told to avoid, anyway (and are back here in a week or a month asking for the same help Search Function much?) or decide to waste time, gas, money scrounging junk yards for the next year just to get a rusty, worn out used part for five dollars.Well, good for you, I had the part on my shelf and was driving it same day.

Why not do as I do: evaluate rarity, how likely your truck is to need that part in the near future, and ****** one up.

Bill does this across many other of the forums on FTE, not just 61-66.

( End Rant ! )

 

C9TZ-13341-C = There are several on ebay and since they're in FoMoCo parts boxes w/the part number printed on them, I doubt they're repops.

Obsolete parts are hard to find. If you snooze...you lose.

Steve, there are a lotta snoozers on FTE

Some are so cheap, they wouldn't pay a nickel to watch an ant eat a bail of hay, yet they think nothing of spending 20 bucks for beer that they just p away.

 

Thanks everyone.

Steve, My computer would't let me answer your pm. I did end up getting one off of ebay. I'll see what the actual condition is when it arrives.
Thanks. john

 

Talk about buyer beware....this one says Great Condition - See photos for more detail.

Is it just me or does it seem like quite a few wires have been cut? And the turn signal cam appears to be in pieces, too.

Weird.

at least he said it was used. But definitely not in greatest shape. Like you said the wires were cut.

To the op: I bought mine from amazon which was from dc, they seem like good quality. It’s worked great so far. Ordered off amazon because shipping was free so it was cheaper than ordering direct from dc.
