DC no longer has the NOS 78-79 fixed column turn signal switch

Got a call from DC. The NOS turn signal switch I ordered is not going to be available for six months or longer.

I'm looking for a lead. Everything I have found is aftermarket.

I'm trying to keep Ford parts on this truck!

Thanks,

Derek.

do you mean new old stock when you say nos? i would have thought the only nos stuff for sale these days would be off the shelf? or can they find them?

Some of the higher quality vendors/suppliers do have access to finding NOS items. I'm lucky enough to have DC less than a 20 minute drive from my house, and we've had local 4x4/Bronco get togethers there, and they'll have some of their NOS stuff lying out there along with their own products.

China can produce a perfect product, providing that a person is willing to pay. Issues arise when a person wants top quality for the lowest price..a concept that a lot of people seem not to grasp.

Thanks for your help guys!

Funny story... I picked up the rest of the parts I ordered from DC, and guess what?

They didn't even charge me for it! I love free stuff, but I'll do the right thing and call DC Monday morning to straighten everything out.

Now I've got to try to cancel my order from MAC's... They didn't have stock either, but were going to have one for me in 1-2 weeks.
