I disagree. The parking lights are just for that, Parked with lights off. When you have the headlights on, they go off. At least that is the story with my 65. Don't know if that was changed for this year model. Been known to be wrong before. :-)

That's what I thought,too. I went round and round with a know it all MP Gunnery Sgt over this some years back, but that's a whole 'nother story. Anyway, after I read this I went out and checked the switch I have sitting on the bench. Both the tail lamp AND park lamp posts stayed on. Maybe not stock, but that's how my new switch works. I tossed out the box a while back so I don't have the PN, but I got it from a bud who has had it in his shop for a LONG TIME. Who knows, it may be a repro and not a FoMoCo.
