Re: ‘79 burb tailgate window switch... anybody have one?

Gotcha. Yeah it's starting to get to be a pain in the butt finding some of these parts now. I've been looking for tailgate glass run channels for almost 2 months now - ones that are not rusted out as bad as mine.

I know the switch you're referring to, mine has it too. It's a shame it's not the same as the power window switches. But maybe that is an option? It would not fit without making some sort of bezel.

At the risk of assuming you have not tried this yet - have you checked with a dealer? As recently as 5 years ago I could still buy new window switches for mine at the dealer. They used the exact same switch for years on other cars. My wife's mid 1990's van had the same window switch. Not sure about the tailgate window switch but it might be worth finding a competent guy behind the counter who does not act like you're not worth his time to try a cross reference.
