I was looking at replacing a rocker switch on on my 07 386. One of the ones that says spare on it I was using for my oversize strobe lights burned out and I was unable to fix it internally.
Peterbilt wants $75 bucks for a new one, which I think is unreasonable. I found peterbiltparts.com but they want $54 for a blank switch.
Yes I know I can buy a cheap rocker switch at autozone or whatever. But I really want one that matches all the others.
So is there any one out there that knows where I can get parts online for a more reasonable price?
Anyone know where to get Peterbilt parts online?

Have you tried ebay?

Yes, big rig chrome only has the chrome rockers. They only have the rocker part and not the whole switch. The same goes for 2 other chrome shops I stopped in. They don't sell the whole switch assembly. Only the chrome rocker. I need the whole complete switch assembly.
And Ebay didn't have them either. -
Might be better off to just get it from Peterbilt directly then. At least that way you know exactly you are getting what you want. If you order something online to save $20 you might not get exactly what you need. Then you gotta go through all the hassle of sending it back and yada yada yada ... I would just get it from Pete ...

I also need a power mirror switch for the same truck but can't get one from peterbilt because my vin doesn't have a power mirror, and that's the only way they can find parts for the #### thing. Which really makes me mad that they can't look up a part by a parts diagram instead of by vin #.
