Steering column and turn signal switch

[hal stclair]

I'm looking at the write ups on re-doing the steering columns with a later all in one stalk switch and don't see any reference about which turn signal
assembly is used. Before I start I'd like to have all the needed parts so I'm wondering if the switches are the same or do you simply need to use the
later switch.
As usual, thanks for any advise from those that have been there.

Sir, you can use the one you have or get the one with cornering lights. It is cheaper.

Listed for 76,toro. Depending on supplier you might have to change plug by unlocking wires and switching. The last 3 wires is the cornering light
switch. Fused hot in r&l light out. I usually use the dimmer switch with the flash to pass feature off 91 Jeep which requires a separate fused 12v
hot and use for both switches.

Hal,

U must use the later type turn signal switch.
The earlier TS switch is different how the lever works.
I don't recall if any wires had to move on the connector.

Sir, the later model column turn signal lever plugs in to the electric wiper switch or switch delete mechanism with a bar that bolts to and operates
the early type signal switch. The later turn signal switch will work but you have to change plug to properly fit GMC.

OK, you can use the late column switch but you need to re-pin the connector? Is that correct? If so, would you know which wires must be changed? I'm
actually considering changing the whole column to the later one I have. The one I have is only about an inch longer and I already have the Borgeson
shaft so all it will need is to change the upper u joint. All fun isn't it.

Curious if the cornering light switch Mr. Boyd suggested will fit a stock 74 column
so the cornering lite wires would be there.

Sir, the GMC has a 10 wire connector made to fit a welded on bracket on the column. Depending on which column you are using to replace yours with
determines the connector. Some tilt column switches have wires color coded and are in correct order but the connector is to long for the bracket.
Some Can be used if you tape or tie wrap the connector to column to keep neat and not rub the dimmer rod. Some are same color wires but reversed
order in the connector. Given your skills a connector is not required. Hard wired works just as well. Correct connectors are for part changers
convenience. Some fabricators idea of fun is a nervous breakdown to me when trying to figure out WTF....

Sir, the general answer is yes. These days it depends on the supplier. Most are purging their parts bins of non active parts and some are replacing
with parts similar that might fit.
