I have some NOS brake light switches that I got off the shelf of a former Ford dealer about 30 years ago. Does anybody know what they fit, or a part number?

Possibly Model A.........................obviously pre-39.

Notice the angled mount on the upper photo.
I have six of that type. Anyone know what they are for?

The switch on my 34 BB truck has an angled base like the one in the first photo. It attaches to the angled face of the transmission which is supposed to line up the switch throw with the link from the brake pedal. I can not say for sure that it is original.

Any other ideas on what model Fords these fit?
Thanks, Jim

I THINK they are 35-36 Passenger car/pickup. Pretty sure, but old and moderately senile.

i think much of the internal parts would interchange with that same style housing. good nos parts to rebuild another

Definitely not '35-'36 passenger car. Those only attach on one side of the switch, not on both sides like those in the photos.

Close to 38 truck. 38 truck just has one mounting tab.
