Opinions about Light Switches for 60-66's
I decided to pick up a new headlight switch for the truck (might as well everything else is new) and was surprised of the wide range in prices. I tried Napa first at they list for $67.00. I searched the parts houses and the general price was the same between $60-69. Higher in some cases.
I then searched eBay and found a new one for $27.00, I took a gamble. I checked with NAPA and they were made in some far-away country. Any of you folks found the same issue?

Yes, had the same issue, ignition switch especially, a year after I installed it it literally fell apart from under the dash, ( the backside of the ign switch is just folded over to hold it together ) quite dismayed over the crap we get from overseas.

Bought one off eBay 2 yrs ago and works great. No issues yet. Believe it was around that price.

$11.99 at Autozone for a direct replacement. Granted it is not an OEM replacement, but since adding relays for the headlights, therefore reducing the amperage load on the switch, it works great.
