question for NumberDummy.....

No idea but I`d guess into the late 50`s, possibly into 60`s. Try the local Napa store here in town.
If not than Goerge Moir in Stone Plain Alberta.

Notice those parts are discounted...so, if not bought from a FTE sponsor, someone pays MSRP or worse!

Some dealers JACK the prices up today...waaaay up!

Hey Sheldon...how long ago did'ja buy that '89 headlight switch?

E7TZ11654C replaced by 6C2Z11654A = MSRP: $45.04 / FTEpartsguy.com price: $24.32.

Hmm lemme think now, it was probably 5ish years ago, give or take.

Amazing how much of a discount a guy can actually get off of here
