Head light switch

Post by Volksnut »

I'm working on a '63 D100, the switches available look a whole lot different that what I have, are those wires attached im assuming are battery hot.

I went to O'Reilly auto parts and they had an exact replacement switch in stock for my 65'. Going from memory, it looked more like your 1st picture.

I'm think all that available is the first picture, that was Rockauto. I don't see anything available like mine in the second picture.

I'd suggest caution with a part of that "1961-1974 Dodge Trucks Headlight switch" description. As I'm sure you know, the dome/courtesy light circuit changed from one that switches votage to a ground sink door switch in 1969. So the pre-69 headlight switches are different from those that follow. From the photo, it looks like the earlier flavor.

Both of those switches were used on Sweptlines, the smaller one from about 64' and newer and the bigger one before that, both switches are rebuildable.
