I am trying to find a new 5-wire turn signal switch. Used is okay, but most of the items I've seen have color-faded wires which means overhauling the switch. Might as well buy one new.

Any suggestions on a brand or model and where I might find one new?

Practically everything now is 7 wire but you can use that in the same system. Just wire the rear lights with the front ones if you don't want to go through the stop lights. There are a lot of new switches out there but they alol look like something out of a big Semi. One of the aftermarket suppliers has a switch that looks more period correct but I dont remember which one. It was either Filling Station or Chevy of The Fourties.


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

I have a universal 7-wire switch, but I am not doing combination lights. I will have seperate stop and turn lamps in the rear.

Is there a where to wire 7-wire for seperate lamps?

To use a 7 wire with separate lamps don't use the brake light input wire. Wire the rest as directed.

Thanks! I guess that makes it is easier than I thought it would be! I'll use my 7-wire switch.
