    Hi,

    I'm actually looking for the switches from the dash (see enclosed picture) in ivory. Does anyone has a good source where to get these?

    As this car is new to me can someone explain for me what this switches used for (e.g. front lights, wiper etc.) while on my car all of them are missing.

    Thanks Andy

    But can someone tell me what these switches are used for?
    one would be for the wiper and one for the head lights but their are totally 5 switches and I have no idea what else I'm missing?

    Maybe the manual in the glove box will tell you.

    Beware of the truck and car shop, their stuff don't always fit, and they don't care after they get your money.

    Those switches control your heat and defrost.

    I've hadn't had any problems yet with parts for my AD truck and I live 25 minutes away. But I've also bought parts from Cl***ic Industries and Brothers. The only place I wasn't happy with is Chevsofthe40s.

    thanks to all of you for your help which I really appreciate.
    @vwdave30 this is what I was looking for!
    Now I will see where I can get the best for my money. Maybe someone is parting out an old one.
    Thanks Andy
