Question
1987 custom deluxe pickup, windshield wiper switch is not working.  Will a similiar vehicle ie 87 chevy blazer replacement switch still work in this truck??? I ask because we had a front axle unit put in our 87 custom deluxe from an 87 blazer?

Answer
Best way is to take the old one to a junk yard as i wouldnt know offhand.The guys in the yard will know or at the parts store if you call them.If the parts cross reference then they should fit.Interior fittings are different from such as axles and engines as i have seen cars the same maker and model with different switches,some real headaches with several differnt designs for one model alone.So,best to look around and do some searching on maybe ebay or google.
