American Autowire Switches

Hwy 15 going in my 53 3100...stock no frills (yet).

AAW recommends not using original switches...has anybody stayed with there original headlight & ignition switches and had any problems as a result.

Original switches seem to fit and look better in my opinion but when I'm done... I want to be done!...no reacurring issues!

Re: American Autowire Switches

use the new switchs but change the knob's... new switchs made to work with their kit and work great..

Re: American Autowire Switches

Thanks glad you liked the dash. Not sure if it's old school or not but my buddy who does pin stripping and wood graining thought it would look good so he did the dash and all the window trim.. the owners loved it even though they didn't know we were going to do it...
