My truck has stomp start, so I don't need a start circuit. Slide connectors on the back don't match up to new switches anyway.
Like to keep it as close to original as possible....
Thanks

Take your current switch out, and look at it to make sure the terminals match up to anything you purchase. If it is original, it should have a number on it (mine says "522")

DD, H.T.). Tobztub59, PM me if you are interested in a good used 522 switch.

Thanks for catching that one...
