I just finished rewiring my 1946 PU and when hooking up the battery with the key in the off position(original Switch with armored cable) the Dash lights come on and I can press the starter and the engine starts to turnover. Can I assume that the this switch is bad and if so what options do I have i.e. where can I get a different ignition switch. thank you

It seems to me you have the wires to the light switch hooked up wrong.
The starter will turn the engine when you press on the floor starter pedal even when everything else is off.

I will check that it seemed that when I wired it all the wires matched up
