Thread: Ignition switch

Tweet

Ok so I went to start my truck yesterday and the ignition switch just fell apart from under the dash, ( outer housing rolled over interior parts and stamped) it was a replacement from LMC for my `64 chevy truck had it in there about 5 years, rather than order another piece made in china what is a good ignition switch in your opinion for a dash mounted unit....:HMMM Thanks guys.

I've always had good luck with NAPA's Echlin line of electrical parts - NAPA AUTO PARTS

Kids in the back seat may cause accidents, accidents in the back seat may cause kids, so no back seat, no accidents...!

Thats why there are Beds on trucks

I've bought a lot of stuff from Classic Industries over the years. Some good, and some "not-so-good". They too have a lot of the Chinese produced reproductions that are junk however, they also seem to have a good lot of GM/Delco OEM parts.

This may work for your truck as it's a GM part:

Truck Parts | 1962-1966 | 1962-64 NOVA & 1962-66 GM TRUCK IGNITION SWITCH | Classic Industries

You may also need the "innards":

Truck Parts | 1947-1966 | IGNITION LOCK WITH OCTAGON KEY | Classic Industries

As a second option - I have had really good luck over the years at local NAPA parts houses as they tend to have a lot of OEM stuff and they'll take it out of the box and let you check it out before buying it.

Good Luck,
Glenn

Glenn, that looks identical to the one I have, its roll stamp around the back side, that is where it fell apart, all over the cab floor... so maybe I`ll go look at the Napa parts universal switch......thanks guys

Rich, the NAPA link I sent is the switch specific to your truck, one with lock cylinder and one without. Shouldn't have to go with the universal.
