Title: Blower motor switch
Post by: BlueCollarRon on February 12, 2009, 01:19:25 am: I went to buy a blower motor switch for my truck (82 gmc) and they gave me a plastic one which is a different style.

I know of an 80's truck cab so I went and stripped a lot out of it, I'd like to go back for the rest. The heater switch I took has the same bracket style as my old one, but doesnt have the center pin. How many different blower motor switches are there? Is the 82 blower motor switch a specific one?

Here are the pictures.

I checked the link Vile posted and they have the switch I am looking for, I'll just shop around town until I find it. I think it is so odd how many different switches are out there, because it didnt show the one I pulled off of that cab (3 prong).

Post by: BlueCollarRon on February 13, 2009, 09:27:08 pm: Ya, the rust is pretty bad on that cab. I still would like to take the whole thing, everyday more and more of those trucks go to the scrappers, one day they will be a real hot commodity. The newer trucks are difficult to modify and too fancy, plus they look like poop. If I dont end up hauling the body away, at least I will take every nut and bolt out of that thing!
