What's this ignition switch for?

Anyone have a clue what this igntion switch fits? It's 10 pin and has 116 stamped on the side in small numbers. Cast side housing is for a light.

 

Its to start the car.The light is to see the key hole.

 

The spring behind the dash/bezel makes me think it's from a Ford product.

 

Does the ****on pop out or turn with the key ?? ... cool.

 

If it's Ford, it has to be early 60's....Because they went to the double sided key around that time....This appears to be for a single side key.

It triggers a memory of my mothers '64 Mercury

 

Looks like Jeep '63-'74

 

Nope, Owned a few 64 Mercs. They don't have the light on them but are lit off the dash. I've never seen a Ford laid out like that at the back. Fords usually have ACC and IGN on them and older ones have screw down terminals then went to a combination of spades and a central bolt on lug that was used for accessory power. Also after 66 they were reversible keyed too.

 

This man is correct!!! Wagoneer dash mounted ignition switch!
