Yep, I have one in my '70 K5 and I love it! Don't know if it is going to be functional after the Painless Wiring Harness goes in though. Anyone know how difficult it is to get to the connection on the back side of it? Someone told me it couldn't be pulled up out of the floor, that I had to get at it from the back side which I see as not worth the time or effort.

My 81 still has the floor switch...I prefer the dimmer on the stalk though.
The switch is held down to the floor with a couple of screws, really easy to remove.

I use one in my 91 Burb to turn on the laser beams (KC 165 watt Daylighters)..........best switch for off road lights I have ever used. No more fumbling around for the switch, and just punch it and lights are on or off.
Re-read my post. I have an 81 and the switch is on the floor. Column is orginal.

I had one in my '83. I don't think it was a good setup.
Trucks aren't waterproof, rust easily, and tend to get muddy feet placed in them quite often. Mine shorted out one night due to rust/water. Thought I had a fire in the cab.

Of course my '71 has one. One time it went bad....I was cruising down the highway and went to flick on the hi-beams...but when I clicked the switch all of my headlights went out! /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif That sucked at 70mph! /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

where can you get them?

Any decent parts store would have them. Ask for a HI-beam switch for a '71 GMC whatever and the parts jockey should be able to get one for ya. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

When I build my "new" Blazer, I think I'm going to have brights on the column, but install a floor dimmer switch too and use it for my starter. I have a friend who used to have a 76 Impala. He swapped columns on it and got one with a column dimmer, so then he used his floor switch as an on/off switch for his amp.
