Turn signal switch

Post by poorboy4wd »

Found this NOS bad boy on ebay for 89 shipped. Looks identical to the one I pulled out of my 66 that wasn't working and had a busted horn contact roller. It didn't list my truck in the applications but I rolled the dice. They had it listed for 69-73 heavy duty trucks. Hopefully it will work or as is or I'm sure I can combine working parts from mine and this one to get it right. Anybody have any clue if they're the same off the top of their head?

Here is the one I removed from my 66 I notice the red and white wires on this switch go into the back and the ones on the switch I just ordered go into the top plate.

if it works then it will be a great deal haha time will tell. Still have a ways to go before wiring is even considered in my project but I saw this and didn't want to pass it up for that price.

Not the same as your '66 (or any pre-'69)... connector pins are different, at a minimum.
If it does mount to your column, I believe the turn signal lever will mount differently, too.

If that all works, or you get it to work, I would change the under-dash wires to the '69 and later style connectors, to match the ones on this turn signal switch. It will be much easier to find a replacement switch in the future.
See the 8th topic here for more info on the '69-'71 switches and wiring: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=34977

It will fit and work. Just change out the connectors to the bullet style. Used the same on my '67 shorty. :Thumbsup

Any electrical place should have the fatter bullet connectors you need. The ones that you find commonly at home depot are a size too small. :Thumbsup

All I care about is it mounting to the column I guess. I'm completely re wiring the truck when I get to that step of the build and I don't have the original turn signal lever so il figure somethig out for that. Mine was removed hen the previous owner threw in a signal stat. Thanks for the heads up.
