Messed up how?
steering wheel is a 60 series but that can be swapped onto the stock 40 steering column as the splines are the same.
Not sure when that style column started in the 40 series.
a switch from any year 74?-80 should be the correct unit
what is wrong with the switch?
have you tried cleaning the contacts?

This is true. You have a 40 column. Pull the switch out and look for a part number.
This style column started 9/72 which is the start of the 73 model year. Those also have a radio opening. The lower padded dash was two pieces right of the steering column with the radio opening in the center. I'm only seeing the long one piece pad which probably means yours was built no later than 9/72.
If you can pull the switch back towards you and it then springs back to the original location it's newer the 9/77+ version. It if only clicks forward for bright lights it would be 9/72-9/77.
The part number for 9/72-9/77 is 84310-21010
9/77-7/80 is 84310-60070
8/80-10/84 is 84310-60072
What changed 8/80 I'm not sure. US market got a collapsible steering column. But other LHD markets without a collapsible steering column used the same switch 8/80+. If your column isn't collapsible good chance if your switch has the ability to flash your bright lights any time by pulling the switch back you have the 9/77-7/80 version.

Holy info! Thank you sir.
.
can you give a simple , buy very very accurate '" word " or " term " that you think best describes :
- the steering wheel only as a stand alone parts topic ....
&
, also both column clam shells upper and lower together too
- i ask this is this way because your photo , suggests to me , more then one .... or ......
- in short " a color temperature lumen spectrum not used by TOYOTA on a particular interior parts detail / part feature factory Toyota Trim Code #
- it could indeed be the ambient lighting during the photo , as i see a array of sunny setting type day lights , and also shady cooler dimmer areas too
- but i also know both stand alone parts topic here and all there Trim Code # variations very well too ....
