65 GMC Ignition switch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello Guys,

I am trying to find a replacement ignition switch for our 65 GMC p/u. The ones I have ordered have been different than the original. The prongs on the one that came out of the truck match the plug on the harness which seems like it is original. There are five prongs coming out of the back of the switch. The ones I ordered to replace them have six prongs and they are in a different pattern.

I can't load pics but the pattern on the one that cam out of the truck has four prongs. Two are facing sideways, and two are running up and down....the replacements all have 5 or 6 prongs and they only have one of the prongs facing sideways relative to the others.

ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS??

Just ordered one from eBay for my GMC. Delco part number is 1116658. Last three digits of part number (658) are stamped in tab of switch if it is original. This switch has four terminals. Search that part number on eBay and you will see several available with pictures.

Hope that helps.

I used an ignition from a 66 chevelle on my 66 gmc and it worked. Matched right up
