I have narrowed my problem down to the plastic insert within the barrel ignition switch - see attached. Still available from my local Toyota dealership for 15 times it's real value...


I believe that I can use other late 70s switches from the local Pick-n-Pull but presently there are no late 70s Toyotas in the lot.

I may try Ebay as well but wanted to pause and try here first.

BTW, my electrical problem is more of an annoyance than a real problem. Truck fires up every time it's asked to, just getting a preliminary "jump" voltage to the solenoid at the RUN position on the ignition switch.

that part is a known failure part tho, so buying used you may only be buying time. when you think about it, the original part lasted decades, that's what prompted me to buy new when mine went.
