Cab13 Chev dimmer switches

[Jordan Baker]

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone can post some pictures of the correct style of dimmer switches used in Cab13 C15a's. I'm looking for the kind used on the frame at the rear and on the side of the dash panel. I looked on eBay but there seems to be a variety of styles.

Jordan, do you mean a dip switch for the headlights?

[Jordan Baker]

I guess so. It's the same kind that used to be on floors near the clutch pedal.

Google A.C. Delco or Delco dip switch.
They were very common useage years ago. The top part that sticks out is very similar to a jeep one (steel) but the delco ones had an alloy body. the 3 terminals vary.

Did the original use screw terminals or the little bullet kind?

[Grant Bowker]

I can't guarantee they were original but most (maybe all) that I have removed were screw termainal, not bullet. I have seen variation in the mounting srew pattern. Some are 2 screw to fit the frame/dash of the Chevs, others have one arm extended with another hole near the tip (but still have holes to fit the Chev frame/dash.

Jordan,

Not sure if this helps but on our 44 Chev C-15A, this is the set-up that came with the truck originally. Push button screw terminal toggle to activate the rear light or differential convoy light. Push button screw terminal toggle for high/low beam on the instrument panel. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
