1 piece switch mounted to L shaped bracket held to firewall with two sheet metal screws. Top of switch is stepped, wires coming from bottom of switch.
There's a whole section of pictures, showing the dash cluster, the wiring everything...except one. There is not ONE picture of this setup in the truck parts catalog...not one. In the car catalog see section 106.1

Thanks again! That's the exact description too! Sounds like I might have a bit of a rarity on my hands? All the better reason to do a more or less faithful restoration.
Jermafenser, the light glows more of a bright orange than amber, but it may be lightened from age.

One more question..what trans does your 4x4 use? A C6 (I hope)? I found a switch for 1974 4x4..but there's no picture of it. DISREGARD the description in wrong...it's actually a lamp. I have 3 1973/79 truck books, the early book says switch, the latter two says lamp. It says lamp in the car book also.

Ach du lieber!
A build date of October 1974...is a 1975 model.
1974 production begins in July/August 1974...no wonder my hair is turning grey as I type!
Got the VIN handy? I can decode it...this I gotta see....

Well, I guess that explains something - only problem is that according to the paperwork, I got with it, it's always been registered as a 74! Now I'm hoping my manuals I paid a small fortune for are still at least mostly right!
VIN is F11YRV44352

I have been looking for it myself with no luck.
There isn't any listings for vacuum switches or things like that.
