Hi everyone,

I would like to get your advice on what turn signal switch would be the best. I know I have to get a 7 wire switch but is what is the difference between the $25 switch in most parts catalogues and the more expensives switches? The truck is a 51 3100 currently has a 5 wire turn signal switch with an exra set of ligts on the back that were wired as tailights and signals by a previous owner. Front parking lights have been converted to dual contact so they work fine. I have a set of set of reproduction tail lights and have been reading previous posts and have read the tech article on wiring them up.

Just wanted to get some advice from those more knowledgeable then I.

Thanks for your time.

Chris

They are pretty much all 7 wire now. The cheaper ones are just a lower quality, & different venders have different prices. They seem to be good enough. I like the cheapy ones that have the old look about them. They are more period correct. The signal-Stat brand is the best quality but are pricey.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
