so what year wiper switch will interchange? i need one for my 65 Cuda.
If you have electric squirters, '65-'66 Dart, Valiant, Barracuda wiper switches should be the same (single or variable speed). If you have pedal-pusher squirters (or none at all), then '63-'66 Dart, Valiant, Barracuda switches ought to be workable. There is this new switch available from NAPA as Echlin WSWS6456, listed for "1962 Chrysler":

Looks like a single-speed wiper switch to me, might or might not be the right diameter and/or stem length for other applications.
This is the animal I'm dealing with:

The neck of the switch is 2 inches in length from the housing to the end of the threaded portion. I think I'm out of luck finding one with an integrated washer switch.

That's a variable-speed wiper switch. I'd just be guessing, but maybe something from a '64-'65-'66-'67-'68-or-other-year Chrysler or Imperial might have similar dimensions and an inbuilt washer switch. I really think a separate pushbutton is going to be your easiest bet, eh?

Yep. That's pretty much the conclusion I've reached. I'm going to look into mounting something on the floor where the rubber bulb was. If I can't figure out how to do that it will be a switch on the dash but I don't want it to look cheesy.
