Re: Light switch issue
Thanks! Greatly appreciate the folks here at Fordbarn! Did a little grinding with the dremmel tool and added some dielectric grease. Definitely tolerable now.

Exterior in great shape. Lots of scale rust on the interior. I imagine it will need to be cut open, cleaned, and lined. It was a spare when I bought my truck. Pickup in Salisbury, NC
