It isn't stock, aftermarket add on. even the original turns signals weren't factory, they were dealer install, usually Guide or Signal-Stat branded.

if i bybass the flasher and use the ones on my new fuse panel will i be able to make that work?

You may have to add a jumper so that you still have a complete connection, but 1/4" spade connectors and about 1" of wire should do the trick there.

what do i do so i can have front turn siganls and back signals using the brake lights as signals also.

Most of the vendors sell a kit to work around this. Check the vendor's catalogs!

what vendors are you referring to?

If you are using an old blinker control you may not be able to use the same filament for brake and turn in the back. The new controls switch between brake and turn use inside the control.

i have two flashers built into my new wiring harness/fusepanel

Most new harness's have brake switch to turn indicator circuit that allows you to by-pass the brake circuit and feeds brake signal from brake switch to turn indicator switch then through turn indicator wires. I purchased new turn indicator switch through classicparts.com, have also used jim carter classic truck parts. I now have a spare brake light wire to rear of truck to use for back-up lights. On newer fuse boxes the emergency flashers and turn indicators may be separate circuits under the dash and use same wires going to rear of truck.
