well, while I had the door switch out to replace, I cleaned it up when I found out I didn't have the right one and now it works like a dream...seems like you just gotta clean the gunk off of some stuff sometimes on a classic truck and then it's fine...

and also, the high beam switch may just be welded together...gotta pull it out and check...the reason I think this is because I changed the headlight switch because my headlights wouldn't come on, but the parking lights would...when I pulled the plug off the back it was melted a little...so maybe it welded the high beam switch too...dunno...gotta pull it out and check it...maybe I'll do that tomorrow...thanks for the info guys...I'll tell ya what the problem with the switch was...
