In my own opinion anyone wanting to completely rewire their 1961-1964 trucks would be far better off going with the 1965-66 style of headlight switch. It will help eliminate the use of some unnecessary jumpers and simplify the power distribution by making it more modular.

This is the headlight switch used in the AAW 510260 kit:

Did the 65-66 switch have front park light and headlights on at the same time? Or like earlier trucks one or the other never both.
