67-72 cargo light switch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigbadchev72 · 02-05-2018, 03:22 PM

I am installing a cargo light on my 68' 4wd shortbox I am building and Cant bring myself to install the old nasty switch. Is there a replacement for these?

I am still in the bodywork phase and will be painting soon. I can weld the factory hole up if there is another option? I just dont want to do a cheap toggle switch on the dash, so If someone has a clean way/idea to install a different switch I am all ears.

Am I missing something? My cargo switch is back by the interior dome light. That switch says it mounts to the dash.

That's where they are usually mounted, below the dome light above the rear window.

This switch goes under the light inside the cab for the cargo light.

Here is mine. Not a good picture but it's in the correct spot.
