Hey who knows where I can get a brake light switch for a 50 Chevy pick-up. Opps wrong forum. :oops: My Brake lights quit working for me tonight on the way home from changing the oil in my airplane.

If you can't find it locally try these folks http://www.chevsofthe40s.com/
Several of us got our shiny new door handles from them. :wink:

4583C can you elucidate a little more about which escutcheon you bought from Chevies of the 40s? :?: :D

The escutcheon part# I have is 4073966 37-38. They haven't left the cabinet over my desk yet so the number was easy to find. The escutcheon seems to fit too tight on the door handle... probably needs a visit from the dremel tool before installation.
