Cool 73-74 Wiper Switch?

I'm pretty good at finding things I need. But, I'm hung up on a wiper switch for a 73 Blazer. Seems to be out of production, not repopped, and picked over at the salvage yards.

Any of you able to make a later style work? I have a couple from an '80, these have 5 contacts where the 73 has 3.

Mine is shot, so, I'm looking for alternatives.

Thanks for your help. - Dave

Re: 73-74 Wiper Switch?

I just received a new switch for my K-20 from RockAuto. (iirc 45.00+/-)

I don't know if the pick-ups and Blazers had the same switches, but it was a 3 blade. However, the arm itself is different (visually). The orig. was a piece of chrome metal, this one the button is plastic with a little picture of a wiper.

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.
