Saw this for sale:

Besides the lever what all else would I need to install this and have the signals working? Thanks!

A flasher unit (6v or 12v), dual-filament front parking-lamp fixtures/sockets (or add-on signal lamps), an additional rear tail-lamp, and all the wiring.

You'll also need the canceling bracket that screws onto the steering wheel.

I know this is an old post but I was curious as to what the additional rear lamps and brackets (as supplied by the factory) looked like. I realize they may have been installed by the dealer.

Thanks,

Joe

I did some more checking and I think the answer is for factory-type installations the turn signal system is integrated into the rear light system. The RH and LH brake lights are independent so no extra lights needed in the back.

The standard equipment was one rear lamp. The optional/accessory turn signal kit had an additional rear lamp plus a right bracket (both are sold by reproduction parts vendors).

The GM 54/55 optional/accessory turn signal kit also came with dual-filament sockets for the front parking lamps.
