well i already wired up a push pull but would rather have an original type with the light in the knob

might go post in fordification as its really a bumpside part
dont really need the light part but i would buy the whole thing if needed

the one i posted in the link is the direct factory replacement by the same original manufacturer, and the factory cargo light knob threads on

I'm not so sure that switch was a Ford only....
I've seen them in 60s chebby trucks (bigger models) also

Did those originally go in the dash blank or under the dash?

pretty sure they were below the instrument panel to the left of the steering column in the bumpsides

mine is in the instrument panel below the "blink marker light" button because i did not have any room in that spot
i used a "prime carb" momentary on switch for my windshield washer pump in that spot came from a big slick

Thanks. I had a 65 parts truck that had one on a chrome bracket under the ignition switch next to the parking brake. It looked out of place. The one from Ryder looks good.

If correct would the extras have started next to the column and moved outward?

If a truck came with emergency flashers and a cargo switch: Would the correct or typical cargo light switch location be next to steering column on left?

67-72s had the flasher switch in the glovebox

66s with the round speedometer had the flasher in the right side of the panel

heres a 66 custom cab flasher to the right, light then knob
