Does anyone know if the chrome rocker knobs on the switches for the 68-70 B-bodies are the same? Could I take the chrome rocker off of a headlight or flasher switch and put it on a wiper switch? Or the rocker from a 2 speed wiper switch onto a 3-speed switch? How difficult is it to drive out the roll pin without breaking anything? Thanks


I finally made it to the end of the rainbow. Murphy was standing there to tell me that the pot of gold was at the other end.

Did this recently on a 70 Satellite two speed wiper switch. No problem. the car had satin finish dash knobs instead of chrome so we swapped the rockers.

Thanks. Anyone else know if I could use the rocker from another type of switch and put it on a 3-speed wiper switch?

I've seen them on the BEA site for sale in complete sets, but I only need one and I'm hoping that I can find cheap 2-speed wiper switch or flasher switch and use it to fix my 3-speed wiper switch. I don't have any other switches here to take apart and compare right now.

I have done this on a 69 rallye cluster. I don't know what's what, but as long as the two switches you are working with both have roll pins, then I believe you can swap them. I don't think you can use the flasher, though. I think that one attaches differently. I took a twospeed wiper rocker and put it on a 3speed switch.
