For what it's worth, a year ago I replaced the original switch in my '66 which is the same as that from a GTO (reproductions available). I'd therefore assume that you are looking for a switch the same as a '67 GTO? I'll check my reference material and let you know what I find...

The repro magazines show the 66 GTO switch and bezel being the same as the 67 GTO. As mentioned, I can testify that the 66 Beau is the same as the 66 GTO. Both the bezel and switch are indeed reproduced. (Captain Beaumont has a 67 rag and might be able to chime in. I'll PM him for you.)
PS Interesting to note that it mounts in a completely different location that the Chevelles...

Always best keep your eyes peeled for wagon rear tailgate switches too as some longroofs used the same or similar switches when gates equipped w/ power glass..

This link shows both the bezel (HP1029) and the harness (PT667) for the '66-'67 GTO, which is the very same as the '66 Beaumont (and I suspect the '67 Beaumont.)

As per the parts book, the 66 Beau is indeed the same as the '67 Beau. Here's my '66. (With the optional and rare hidden speedo needle.)

Haaaa! I think it's time to introduce the kids to Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
A couple of weeks ago I was driving home in the dark and noticed that all of my dash lights have finally burnt out. Not a big deal I thought as aside from a clock and a speedo, neither of which work, there's not much left to see...

Does anyone have a template or something so i get the hole drilled in the right spot.
I dont know what happened to may dash insert, but it was changed at some point
Weird, because it was not in an accident.
I wonder if it was changed as a result of a stock radio being put back in? Reason I ask is that I plan on doing that this winter.
If no one can assist, I can take close up pictures of mine this weekend along with a tape measure?...

Dave, I know the assembly manual has some dimensions in it and I think dash switches are there. If no one can give you the right spot, I can likely check tomorrow night.
The "boss" says I am still getting a haircut tonight, so I won't have time!
