Wiper Switch?

I need a wiper switch for a 66 Camper Special with 2-speed motor and washer. Has anyone refurbished the chrome finish on a sweep speedo?
Thank You!

Recall few members posting pic's after having their trucks sweeping speedo reconditioned. I had mind done by Quality Mustang and pleased with results, to rechrome and make repairs it came to $125, this was few years ago and suspect the price has changed. Imagine other members will be posting additional sources.

Plastic Rechroming

Posted thread on 'wiper switch' for 65 F100 not too long ago and with the help of Numbers, and Camperspecial65, I was able to locate a replacement. Be prepared for sticker shock. Posting a link to the thread, may find helpful, should be able to contact a supplier who can confirm if they have the part and whether it meets the trucks application.

1966: There are TWO different two speed wiper switches.

C3TZ17A553E .. Wiper Switch - FOUR Terminals / Marked: C3TB-17A553 A or C3TB-17A553-B / Obsolete

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has ONE - 800-543-4959.

JST AUTOMOTIVE in Lebanon TN has ONE = 615-443-3086.

ANTIQUE AUTO SUPPLY in Arlington TX has ONE = 817-275-2381.
---------------------------------------------------------------
C6TZ17A553B .. Wiper Switch ~ SEVEN Terminals / Marked: C6TB-17A553-B / Obsolete

GREEN SALES has TWELVE.

ANTIQUE AUTO SUPPLY has FOUR.

JST AUTOMOTIVE has THREE.

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has TEN = 606-787-5293.

MILLER OBSOLETE PARTS in Binghamton NY has TWO = 800-546-7278.

KOEHN MOTORS in Wellington KS has ONE.

HAVEN FORD SALES in Haven KS has ONE: 800-748-7803.

Try Haven first! I turned a member onto a super rare 1973/79 Race Track quarter panel moulding they had.

They charged him 39 BUCKS....the original list price!

FoMoCo Dealers are usually cheaper than obsolete parts vendors. Why?

Because the parts are obsolete, can no longer be returned to Ford...so they are STUCK with them!!

Thanks for the reply

Dose the Carolina Classics one have the two extra holes for the oil pressure and amp gauge on a Camper Special? Are they reproductions or NOS?

If you turn the stock and reproduction bezels around there is a concave tit cast in to the plastic to center and locate the accessory gauges.

They are made from the original ford tooling.
