From the faq section
60-66 wiring diagram
67-72 wiring diagram

You can remove the connectors from the plug by using a paper clip, tiny screwdriver or such and releasing the tab on the connector.

This information may come in handy when yer doing the hazards:

Wiring my 67-72 column hazard lights in my '65 Chevy C10

It seems my truck(1965 Chevrolet lwb stepside) has a later model steering column, which has the hazard lights switch on the column. The '60-'66 trucks it seems had a separate switch under the dash for the hazard lights.


"Even on the passenger cars, GM never had a hazard switch on the column until the '67 model year. - Royer (Chevytalker #5852)"


The wire for the hazard switch coming out of the column is a solid brown wire. I wired it like so, brown wire to a 552 flasher unit(find it in electrical section near bulbs and connectors at parts store) and then an inline 20 amp fuse to a 12 volt ignition off power source. I used a multimeter to find the 12 volt ignition off source.


When I pushed in the switch, I had working hazard lights. :)

Here is another tip, that I did not read until after I had wired mine up but makes sense to me:
