Switches - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm in the process of replacing all the switches in my 66 GMC. The problem I have run into already, is that the key switch is the only one to arrive, and it didn't include any mounting hardware. No bezel, no nut, nothing to hold it into the dash. I've got my other switches ordered, now I'm afraid they are going to arrive with no way to mount them. The PO striped all the switches out of the truck so I don't have any of the original hardware.

Does anyone know where I can find the mounting hardware for my switches? I've been looking online and haven't found any. A picture would also be helpful if anyone has one.

Go to www.6066gmcguy.org

Click on "lighting & Electrical", scroll down, click on "Custom Instrument Panel", scroll down again and click on "Stock Dash Gauge Cluster".

Scroll down; you'll find the pic you need.

Says in his info that it's the same dash for 62 thru to 66; I've got a 63 and it's stock,so if I can help I will.

I have seen switch parts on flea-bay before.

Thanks I saw the pic.

LMC has a ignition switch nut, but I'm not sure if it looks like the piece in the pic, or is it just a nut to hold it in the dash, and then a trim piece fits over it?
