One thing I noticed as well, maybe someone can tell me if THIS is normal.....My signals stop flashing when I apply the brakes....Can that be rewired as well???

PS: I hate wiring stuff.....
Oh yeah, ESPECIALLY on a truck that's almost 50 years old! before this is all over you're going to need a good test light and some jumper wires AND a wiring diagram

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that, when you look up under the dash you're going to see a bunch of not-necessarily-professional looking rewiring by previous owners. hope I'm wrong

for sure sounds like you need a turn signal switch, and no, the turn signal shouldn't stop when you apply the brakes (at least it doesn't on my '66), but that's consistent with what padresag said (just saw his post) if he's referring to turn signals/brake lights
