1) Were turn signals an option for that year?
2) My manuals wiring diagram does not show any turn signal info, but I know that there are parts available (stock). Does anyone have a wiring print that shows the original wiring and or a breakdown of the steering column components? | | |

The factory manual shows wiring diagram for trun signals, but it is hard to read. If you cant read the diagram posted by Bullfoot, send me a Fax # and I will fax you a diagram I got from a vendor when I purchased a new t.s. switch.
It is not much better, but you can make out wire colors.
Did you have a specific question about the T.S? | | |

I could send ya some pics if ya want. could probably send ya a whole unit, but Joy might get excited! Bill  | | |

These are available as a truck accessory from the factory and not as a "regular production option". The distinction is that accessories were dealer installed where RPOs were factory installed generally speaking. | | |
