Door switch for a 1961 88

So it was working on my car the other day and when I went to get in it I noticed that the dome light was on before I even got in the car. It looks like my driver side door switch is bad. I had been looking at an NOS one on eBay but the seller sold. Does anyone on here have one? New or used as long as it's in good shape. Thank you.

Have you tried Fusick? Does your switch mount with two screws or does it screw in? Fusick does not list one for a 61 but maybe that is an oversight. Here is what they list for up to 1960 models.

It is similar to the bottom switch but the back of mine is all plastic and black in color like the plunger. It does not screw in it just pops in a hole and has two tabs on either side that lock it in place.

Have you tried on of the suppliers of Impala parts. 61 Chevy might be the same. Just a guess.

I am almost sure they are the same for the f-85 from 61-63. I will try to look into this when I get home. If they are, I likely have some good used ones.
