I am posting incase this helps.

As far as I am aware, these are the same part for ALL 1970-1978 F-bodies;
I believe that the brights switch moved from the floor to the column in 1979 - which was when the column changed (but It may have been 1980);
If you find a parts car, look for the floor mounted brights switch as a way of confirming that you found a good part.

There is a rebuilder in Cheshire. Paul Toller. I've sold him parts columns and miscellaneous pieces. Columns Galore is also close, in Westchester County to best of belief. They should still be in business.

Dave got his column shaft pulled out weeks ago. No rebuild needed.
