Any other good places to order OEM parts?

Ok folks

Looking for a tailgate window switch for my 85 and the little tailgate support cable springs. I'm missing my right side and it would be nice to have again.

Problem: LMC, Classic Parts, Rockauto, autozone, amazon, ebay, and google shopping has nothing. Some places have the switch for older blazers, some have the left spring but not the right. etc

Can anyone lead me to another place to look please
thanks


PS> does anyone know if I can swap out the older 70s window switch with mine? Even with a bezel or wiring change? I don't know what they look like.

hmmm does anyone know if a passenger side window switch will hold the amps of the rear window? I might fit my old side window switch into the dash.

Why not try a switch like this one

For example:

I've been looking for those as well. They are in a few places around here but I can't tell if they spring back to center or not. Is that what "momentary" means? So it wont lock into either "on" position? hmmm, it's always been an option

As far as i know yes, you have to hold it in order to make the contact if you let it go it will go back to center (off)

But id still check with the store

dealership = discontinued (springs and switch)

I looked for several months last summer for a rear window switch and had no luck. Was told with the economy going south that the demand wasn't high enough for them to make them anymore right now. Cost to much to make and just sit around and not sell.
