Ignition switch

[p_a_lazar]

Just spent the last two days chasing my tail trying to find a replacement
ignition switch for my 97 WB. Seems it is the same switch used for a long time
and know it is used at least on the 85FC as well.

Truck dealers don't stock this switch. I have gone to Kenworth, Peterbuilt, Ford
truck, Freightliner and GMC truck.

The place to get the switch is INTERNATIONAL, especially the school bus dealers.
It appears that school buses (makes sense) use the same switch and the
International part number is: 1652306C91. I replaced mine today.

In the for what it's worth dept., I stopped by the BB bus dealer here and they
have sent most of their parts back and didn't have the switch nor one that they
could find in their parts book.

For the archive, the Pollak part is 31-139 and the International part is
1652306C91.

Now all I have to figure out is how to change the lock cylinder so the keys to
the front ignition is the same as the rear ignition switch now that I have
changed the front.
