MO WTB-Turn Signal Switch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking for a good or new turn signal switch to go into a 72 AUTOMATIC TILT column. I do not want to be raped on shipping from the online stores and no parts stores in town can get one. Anyone have a spare laying around?

I can get you one down here tomorrow when you come down. We have an O's warehouse and the part is available. Looks like it's the same for tilt and no-tilt. I do also have one in my column I replaced less than a year ago.

Thanks Bobbo, but they are different. The tilt switches have the indicator light built in to them with an actual bulb instead of the fiber optic wire and an extra wire lead to power the bulb. Plus you will need your new one for the column I am bringing you. One of the return springs in broke and there's a crack in it.

Scott they are the same you just have to take the light socket off old one and mount it on new switch. I personally prefer AC Delco pt # D6216 check your local parts stores I get them from Smith Auto here

Well gosh darn it! After I ruined the last new one trying to put it in I got so pissed off I threw it away. I also threw the old original one out after the new one came in.

I am such an idiot! (In my best Chris Farley voice)
