I'm looking for a 7 wire turn signal switch like an old Signal Stat kits. I've currently got a 4 wire Signal Stat but want to be able to share turn signals & brake lights.

I just purchased a 7 wire switch from Classic. These things are garbage: chrome plated plastic, a hose clamp to mount on the column, it can't get much worse than this. There is no way I'm putting this on my truck.

Does anyone out there make a good quality metal 7 wire switch? Thanks.



It never costs more to ask and it never costs more to think big.

I would go with a stock GM switch. Second choice would be a reproduction of the stock switch. I saw them in Classic's catalog but I have no idea about the quality.

You can still buy the signal stat 900 7 wire. Just installed on my 53. Nice retro look.

Well that's half the answer Dan, now where did you buy that "Signal Stat 900 7wire" new?
The only thing that I can find still made by Signal Stat in their signal line up is this:

Just went out and dug out my seven wire signal unit. It came with the truck in '05 when I
bought it. The previous owner had ordered a box full of stuff from Chevy Duty but never
didn't have the truck long enough to put any of it on the truck.
Yes the unit clamps on to the mast jacket, but that was the way that all of the aftermarket
units were attached, nothing unusual there.
And the unit is not plastic it's a chrome plated die-casting.
Actually its a pretty solid looking unit and looks pretty much just like the original Signal
Stat units.
Maybe since ya'll made me get it out, I'll dust it off and install it this winter.

Just bought one new from NAPA. Less than $60.00. Looks good, hope to finish the install this weekend.
