49 f5 headlight switch
I'm having some trouble finding a headlight switch. There's lots of "universal" headlight switches out there, looking for some knowledge in the right direction.
I bought one that won't fit in the dash, the description said 48-56 I think.
My truck is 12v. The original switch was long gone before I got the truck. Would I be wrong to assume that the switch would be the same through to the f1-f5 ?
Thanks
Tom

For the actual switch:
41/50: 11A-11652 / 7RA-11654
51/54: FAA-11654-A
55: B5T-11654-A
56: B7A-11654-A
For the **** & Shaft:
48/50: 7C-11661
51/52: 1A-11661-A
53/54: B5A-11661-A
55/56: B7C-11661-A
Bezel/Mounting Nut:
48/50: 11A-11662
51/52: OM-11662
53/54 (most): FAB-11662-A
53/54 (parcel): OM-11662
Many of our classic parts vendors have switches under those part numbers that are not OEM style switches, but supposedly close enough to get the job done - YMMV. The switch doesn't care if it is a 6V or 12V system nor the polarity.
Edit: Looks like Midwest Early Ford has the parts you need under 11A-11652, 11A-11652-NUT, and 7C-11661. They also have a current eBay listing for a complete kit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144859505408
