Yes I will be installing it using all new under hood components from vintage air and charging it with 134A.

How did your a/c install go

I’m looking for what appears to be one of the most unobtainable parts: A functional headlamp switch for a 1973 FJ40 (manufacture date 01/1973). I think this switch (84112-20030) existed only in Cruisers built between 09/1972 and 08/1973.

Both @Racer65 and ToyotaMatt (vintageteq) have one for 69-72 years, Cruiser Cult has one for 59-68 years, and it looks like 74+ can still be easily obtained. I called Cruiser Outfitters, SOR, RedLine, etc and nobody has a 73 one or knows where to find it.

Any suggestions for where I can find this 73 switch or who to contact about possibly rebuilding/repairing the original shorted out and now damaged switch?

Call Classic Cruisers at 888-376-2420 and/or BTB at 702-568-1511. They both have plenty of parts vehicles they can check for you.

My 1971 40 had a bogus aftermarket headlight switch installed by a previous owner. Although I was able to purchase an OE switch. The connector (if there was one) was long gone. I still had to crimp female spade connectors on the wires that simply push onto the spades of the switch.

I checked Classic Cruisers before posting - they didn’t have one. I’ll try BTB. Thank you.
