SD WTB: 1960 Ignition Switch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am having trouble locating an ignition switch for my 60 SWB that has a key. I have tried getting new ones for a 66 but they are different on the plug in. Anybody who has one for sale would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just now installed a push-pull in my '61. Got no keys with the truck. Left the other in for looks.I like it alot and it was cheap at Speedway.

What do you mean by push and pull? I don't even have the factory switch.

I would like to keep the stock appearance or as close to it as I can.

have you tried lmc?

They list the same switch for all 60-66 trucks so I think they will just send me the newer switch like I have tried and didn't work.

I think the 60-61's did use a different one, the one in my 61, and one out at the scrap yard in a 60 have little ears that you can grab to turn the switch...of course you need a key and a paper clip to remove the tumbler to unscrew the switch from the dash...
62-or 63 and up used the flat face switch that is easy to unscrew and remove without a key
