Windows switch options
 
I'm going for a resto-mod as opposed to all original on my build, i'm looking for alternative windows and door lock switches options. We could obviously use and momentary switch with 3 positions, I'm wondering if there's another vehicle or a generic switch that would be pretty good to use. I'm getting new panels from LMC (which look like you have to cut out holes for manual or power) so I should be able to use anything I like.

I used something like this:

The icon in the middle lights up and they work well.

There are a bunch of other options on ebay. I put in "universal power window switch" in the search.

I like that. For some reason I don't really how the stock ones look, plus it'd save some money vs LMC for repo switches.

Spal carries a variety of switches, too. If you want some nice, robust switches, look for 73-77 Montes and Chevelles-they are stainless and have the same configuration for use in a pickup or K5. The very first express down mod I ever did was in my 1970 Monte I had at the time-so that mod works on the older GM style switches as well!
