Can someone help me out on my ignition switch, on how it's connected and where the wires connect to.
I have a 1959 GMC 270 1/2ton pickup with a turn key and push button start.
Thanks

Napco59,

I have linked the diagram for a '58 with start/run key switch. If you visualize your pushbutton in series in the 'start' line that goes to the solenoid, it might resemble your system. This isn't perfect, but it might help. Good luck.

Stuart

this might work better - Chevy with a foot stomp, but the GMC should be the same colors, and the push sw will be like Stuart sez, but to a terminal not linked on this pic

Thanks Stuart and Bill for the info.
Can't wait to get the truck running again.
