I was wondering if you can adapt the parts from a 54 signal switch to my 53 or do I need to get the whole column? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Yes you can adapt the latter turnswitch to your truck. There is a set screw under neath it that loosen it up.

But I can't find the cup.

I drilled a hole & tapped it to hold the assy to the column. http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h298/1951otter/?action=view¤t=20.jpg

The '54 and laters had a cup portion that all the turn signal gizmos sit in and that mates or matches up with the back side of the steering wheel. I wanted to use one out of a '56 (which is the same) and it wouldnt mate up with the back side of the steering wheel. There would have been a rather large, ugly gap.
