1976 GMC/Chevy wiper switch
« on: September 28, 2016, 06:29:28 pm »
Looking for a 76 GMC DASH wiper switch. It seems the 76 switch was a one year switch. It is a 2 speed switch with the washer function.  None of the catalogs have  it,  except Classic Industries which  told me they  don't carry it anymore.

You can tell it by the mounting tabs which are in the center on the top and bottom.
Thanks
Ed

My 1980 Chevy K10 has the same switch.

I believe the OE part number is 1994172.  If you're very lucky, with some patience you maybe able to find NOS.

That switch at O'Reilly's is for '78 and up, which use a different motor.  You likely won't find a replacement anywhere in a store.

I have found a few on eBay NOS.  Usually $50 to $100.

Alternatively, snag a later switch (pref. with delay) and a later motor.

Should be available at O'Reilly's, have the counterman look it up in the BWD illustrated catalogue if they cant find it by application. If I get time tomorrow I'll try to look the part # up.
