I've got a bad brake light switch on my '52 3100. I ordered one and it's exactly opposite of the one on the truck. I looked a pics of the switch off a late '55-'59 and it looks like the one on my truck. I wonder if mabey mine's the wrong one mounted upside down or something?
The holes are on the left side of the brake lever and the electrical connectors are facing down. Should they be, or should they be facing up?

there are actually 2 different that will fit the 5-9's, and likely they're the same ones that fit the earlier years, not sure where the variation comes from, maybe different plants?

the ones that are pin down =Cole Hersee # 8487, and the ones that face up =8486, and either are also avilable as Standard [brand] .... all available from NAPA as well, maybe you could return that one?

Thanks so much. I'll return this one and pick up the other. I thought that someone had "customized" it using parts from an old truck out back! drive
