The time has come, Light switch needed...
Well, as happens with our old piles of steel, things wear out, last night leaving our daughters place after dinner and dropping off quad, hopped in Shrek my 66 F100, started right up, turned on the lights and my dash lights were no more... they had flickered previously, and I had to turn the **** just so to get them on... now they are dun.
Haven't pulled the switch out yet since it was just last night, does anyone have one or have a lead on where I can find one?
Thanks

Ford offered two different switches for 1965/66 trucks B-C-F-N100/600
SWITCH ASSY. - HEAD LAMP - ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
C5TZ-11654-A (SW-439) - Ident. C5TB-11652-A - includes bracket & C5TZ-11654-C switch
C5TZ-11654-C (SW-718) - Ident. C5TB-11652-A
In other words, one includes the bracket and one doesn't, so you reuse your current bracket if needed. I tend to sway toward NOS but no guarantees they work perfectly after all these years.
Plenty of replacements on eBay that show some come without the bracket, some with it but loose and some with the bracket attached.

Yeah, that's what I figured, seems anything "new" and "cheap" is exactly that, a POS...
Thanks for part # Chad, here I was thinking they would be unobtanium like my single speed wiper switch! I'll get it pulled out this week and see exactly what I need.
