I need the door jamb switches for the door ajar light in my barracuda gran coupe. These switches thread into the lock pillar and have a plastic plunger on them. I've had no luck at Roseville, Moparts, eBay, and a few other places. I was wondering if anyone knew where I can find a few NOS repro or just had a few laying around that they wanted to sell. Below I attached a picture. Thanks!!

Unfortunately, the factory switches have been out of production since the late '70s. The part department superceded them to the standard door light switch that doesn't have the plastic plunger.  I have seen some folks using a GM part, but it doesn't look quite the same.

I had no luck finding anyone reproducing these, so did an improvisation using the metal plunger, but put a white rubber tip over it for some paint protection. It's not a replacement for NOS, but it does work. I might try getting one or two of the GM switches on my next Rock Auto order to see if they can be made presentable.

@fc7cuda had this link for them in the prior post: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=932540&cc=1027976&jsn=807

I got mine from NAPA for my Gran Coupe, but that was about 10 years ago.  Here is a link to begin your search.  You will have to look at the pics to find the closest match:
