For a 56 Custom Royal Poweflite, the headlight switch is on the dash to the right of the steering column. It is a like an aircraft throttle lever and has three positions, i.e. OFF, PARK and ON. No dimmer function. The dimmer (and domelight switch I presume) is to the left of the steering column and is 1688788. I am looking to buy one but I can't even find a photo of one.

Anybody?

Think it is on the left side of the steering column on the bottom side of the dash.

Sorry, guys. Thanks for your answers. But I guess I should have been more specific:

1. I know where the switch is physically located (I've used mine but it is broken) and

2. I know that the guy at CollectorsAutoSupply in Peachland or Summerland BC has one for sale. However, I don't like that price and I am hoping somebody else has one for less money.

UPDATE: I see now why there was confusion about the location of the dimmer switch. I had a ")" in the wrong place regarding "I presume". The "I presume" was meant to refer to the function of the dimmer switch as the dome light switch, not the location to the left of the steering column.

My bad.

Anybody (else) have one for sale?

Have you tried calling John at Big M Automotive in Williams? I was just out there two weeks ago and there was a 56' Dodge I was getting a few pieces off of. And from what I remember, the interior was complete in that car.

I ve got John chasing about 7 56 Dodge things for me at the moment (so far he's only got one of them). The dimmer switch wasn't one of them. I will be in contact with him today and will make the switch Item 8.

Phil: No, I'm sorry. I probably over-reacted.

To be clear, what I am looking for is identified here:
