headlight switch attachment - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**pdxhall** · 09-17-2018, 11:19 PM

I've got a new headlight switch from my American Autowire kit that I'm ready to install in my dash. This new switch has a different mounting nut that does not seem to be the same as the original as far as I can tell from pictures. I have the old switch but not the attachments to mount it. Does anybody have a picture of the complete stock switch and hardware?
thanks

I used the AAW classic update kit on my 65 and was able to use the switch they supplied using the original attachment hardware and the factory knob.

Thanks Jimmy, what I am missing is the original hardware. I'm missing what holds the switch and the front bezel together to sandwich everything together.
I've probably got the piece in my stash but it's been so long since I took the dash apart I've forgotten what's there. Any pictures would help.

Here is a pic in this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=489580
I looked at a few parts places that sell "headlamp switch bezel nut" and they show these but say they fit 47-54 chevy trucks. They sure 'look' like the one on my truck.
But I dont know.
