Default Speaker switch 68 gto

I just purchassed a Speaker switch off ebay. Anyone have pointers on easy removal for this switch? Does the dash Bezel have to come out? or can I just unscrew the two screws and unplug the wires for removal?

I have a similar switch from a 66 Pontiac. I don't suppose you could pm me as to how much you paid for it. Not sure what I should sell mine for.
thanks

I purchassed it last night for $52.00 off ebay. The chrome is supposed to be mint on this switch. The one in my car the chrome is peeling.

You should be able to unplug old and replace with me. If someone is trying to add this to their car, they will need to make a cutout in the dash for the switch. They are to be had for anywhere from $5.00 to $75.00. I too purchased one on ebay within the past week for less that listed here.

Do the wires disconnect from the switch itself???
I know these switches are hard to find with good chrome. So I'm thinking $52 was a great price!

Your price seems fair and if you're pleased it is a pure win! No, the wires do not disconnect from the switch. You'll need to remove the dash pad to make this easier and avoid headaches. If this is a non-A/C car, it's even easier.

  1. Remove screws holding in light above radio
  2. Remove screws along the upper dash ledge (above gauges on flat chrome)
  3. Pull back on dash pad (hooked to metal dash in each corner with a push-pin style "spear" that rests in a metal clasp. This is a push-in/Pull-out connection, but it may have significant resistance.
