brake light switch

1979 f250

stupid question... mine burnt up and while looking on bronco graveyard i noticed the switch being used in my truck looks nothing like any of the ones pictured in the site... it looks more like the cam type used in my '88 tbird.

the one in my truck looks like it screws through a plate, and has a push button on it that rests on a metal plate, so when the brake is pushed in the button comes out and compleats the circuite.

anybody got any pictures of there's, or does bronco graveyard just have a basic switch pictured? the guy who had my truck changed EVERYTHING inside... it's taking me years to straiten out all of it.

my truck had both of those switches, but now I only have the round plunger one, because the other wouldn't work with the hydroboost I just put on. I had to replace the plunger one because I smashed the threads on it. Napa had one in stock
