'63 F100 Headlight Switch/Fuse holder

Post by NealGrady »

Hi - need info on the '63 f100 - headlight switch - it looks like to me that the ones sold today do not have the fuse holders on them or I'm I missing something?

I don't think the fuse block was ever sold as part of the headlight switch. It is part of the wiring harness and snaps on the switch.

Agreed the new headlight switches are just the switch no fuse panel included as the wires going into the fuse panel have no connectors to make the fuse panel easy to swap out

Thanks for your POST - that is helpful - but I do not see in "MAC's" or "LMC" catalog the fuse panel - would you have a part number?

Thanks Neal

Neal, as stated, it is part of the wiring harness. Since I am not aware of anyone commercially duplicating our application, there may not be a direct replacement available.
If yours require replacement; sources such as Tom at Flashback may be your best option. If the block itself is salvageable, it is fairly easily to replace terminals as needed.
Assuming originality is not a concern, an aftermarket remote fuse panel might also prove viable.

On Tweetybird, we're replacing the original fuse block with an EZ-wire unit.
If you need the original fuse block, we can make arrangements.
I'm going to use insulated right angle female terminals on the tabs in the light switch itself to hook up the new wiring.

If Daryl gets over the creeping crud he has right now, we're going to do that this Saturday, so I'll post pictures if anyone is interested.
I'm not arguing with you. I'm just explaining why I'm right.
Pardon me. Does your deaug bite?
