Getting ready to wire the switch, which appears to be original to the truck and now cleaned in preparation for re-use. The wiring diagram in the Shop Manual does not match the switch in hand. There, it shows a round "junction block" as opposed to the rectangular shaped one Sparky came with from a PO. I assume it's original since the same badly worn and cut wiring was attached, as was found elsewhere. Can someone, please post a photo link to a year correct switch? A wiring description; which lug goes to which end use, will also be appreciated. I checked the usual vendor sources and none appear to have either type as described.
Thanks in advance.

Discovered today the switch is likely incorrect for the '46. Found a photo online that matches it and is described as for a 1950 Buick. Found a 1950 Buick wiring diagram on line and it shows a wiring setup that matches the lugs on this one. Better still it also shows which lug is used for which device. Problem may be solved.

Sorry you got no help but the good thing is problem solved. Looked for you at the Guthrie show but I guess we missed you.

Thanks Martin. I got all ready to go to the show the day before, then had to change plans that morning.
