Just wondering how many positions the key switch should turn. Mine only turns to the left. Could it be possibly seized up or is there only one position for it to turn. Thanks for any info.

Like TOMMY my 59 only turns one position to left, and then one position to right for shut down. Only one position to left because then you stomp down on foot starter to start the engine, rather than turn another notch like in more modern vehicles (no solenoid).

Thanks guys. Mine still has the foot start as well. Definetly something that I want to keep on the truck. Seeing as this truck is my first actual project. I'm sure that I'll be asking plenty more questions.
