Look Ma No Headlights

Well 2 nights ago my headlights worked just fine. Matter of fact I used them to illuminate the yard while I worked on another vehicle. Tonight I went and started the old beast up(1980 F-150 4WD) was going to take it for a little drive. I went to turn the lights on and nothing happened whatsoever. No dash lights, no headlights, no parking lights, nada but I still have turn signals, backup lights and brake lights. Any help on what could be the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Check and replace all bad fuses in the fuse panel and PDC related to your problem, if that doesnt work you probably have a bad switch.

It sounds like a bad/disconnected switch, everything that isnt working is wired through the headlight switch, and all the exterior lights that are working aren't on that switch.
