Not worth shipping, Check local stereo shops. I called our local shop, the one we call 'Bendover and take it Car Stereo) and he gets three bucks each for them. I would cost me that much in gas to go there. Call your local and tell them what you want.
This guy wanted 260 bucks to put in keyless entry in my two door, and 760 to put in power windows...
So they can't be that hard to find.
Motormight does package them, our local NAPA has em in stock, black button, looks like a starter switch. Which will also work, if you wanted to spring five bucks...

p.s. How long ago did you work at AZ and what state?

I thought I would bring this thread back as it is the one that gave me the idea for the mod I did today. I installed a simple switch sets off a blinking led in my apillar gauge pod if I leave my tailgate down. this is a simple mod that cost only arround 5 bucks or so. check it out heres a pic. I mounted it to the underside of the frame for my tonneau cover. if you dont have this you would have to mount it most likely to the side of the bed.
