Hope this is in the right place.

1953 one ton.

Finally got all my wiring done, everything works [/u]except[u]...the brake lights won't shut off!

I looked and found that the brake arm that contacts the switch arm stops about 1/2" away from pushing the arm all the way up.

I temporarily fixed it by putting a rubber sleeve over the switch arm, several short lengths of hose glued together. That lets the brake arm move the switch arm enough to shut off the lights.

But I don't wee any way to adjust anything down there to fix it. Is there some way to move the switch, or adjust the arm to get it to work? If anyone has any ideas I'd be happy to hear them.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road.
