1980 Chevy K10 LWB - Fuel Selector Switch Pictures
 
All,
I have a 1980 LWB K10 Chevy, and am looking for any pictures of an installed fuel selector switch for 73-80 models, I don't think mine is installed correctly. Did these switches have a bezel pre '81? This is what it looks like now:

Besides having a screw missing, it just doesn't look right to me...

I searched for about two hours last night on several sites, all of the sell the switch, but no one seems to sell the combo with the bezel for the 73-80's. Brothers had a picture of both, but said the bezel was sold separately, but I haven't yet been able to find it on their site. I sent them an e-mail, we'll see what happens there.

In the mean time, anyone know where a new bezel can be purchased?

Thanks for your help with my gas tank switch, your picture was the perfect reference and I now have it installed in the dash correctly.

While I had it out, I was taking a look at the wiring harness and was testing for power, and have none. I traced my wiring harness to the firewall, and the power wire to the fuse panel. The power wire in question goes to what looks like an "expansion" fuse panel that clips on the right side of the normal panel, and looks like it should have some sort of circuit breaker or relay plugged into it, but mine is empty. Here's a pic for reference, what I am talking about is above and to the right of the flasher on the bottom.

If you have a moment, can you snap a picture of the fuse panel, focused on that expansion part? I have no idea what goes in there and none of the diagrams have it documented anywhere.

Thanks!
