follow up to this post where I asked if it would work
https://mustangforums.com/forum/clas...ln-switch.html

Well I ordered one from http://www.switchdoctor.net/
link to the product is here:
http://www.switchdoctor.net/products...ch-119-11.html

Came to $15.35 shipped.
This was my 1st order with switchdoctor, and it was based solely on price. I can say communication was great, and I would defiantly order from them again. (no other association with them)

Here are some pics:
The old switch. Pretty dirty, but the main problem was it was held together with some shrink tape stuff that was deteriorating


Here is the new switch. nice and shinney:


I checked the prongs and they lined up:


The switches are a slight bit taller on the old switch. Shouldn't be a problem:


Here is the old switch installed:


And here is the new switch:


It fits more or less as good as the old one did, looks like it is a tiny bit high on the top switches, I may try and play with fitment a little bit later (but again, the old switch seems that way too, & there is a slight wear mark on the cover plate from it), but it plugged right in and all the controls work. The new switches are a little shorter, but it doesn't affect their function at all. All are easy to operate, no issues there. Can't beat that for $15.35 shipped.

iirc the window motors are the same and the front door handles

thanks man, good to know...my passenger window is a little slow, so that info could come in useful.

get the door handles if you have the door torn apart 71-73 handles like to break
