Were their two types of hazard warning knobs?

I have a 71 with a red small hazard warning knob, and today I saw an original owner 71 with a black two piece style warning knob. Plus the way the PRNDL2L1 indicator's are different.

Does anyone have pics or input on which is correct?

Thanks!

Was the other 71 you saw a tilt? IIRC the tilts used the black 2 part one.

I have a 71 GMC non-tilt 4 on the floor and my column has the black hazard switch. This is on a mostly original truck that has been in the family for the last 30 years.

Yes they used both types and as of yet I have not figured out rhyme or reason to who got red and who the the black switch.

Re: Were their two types of hazard warning knobs?

I thought the red button was standard in ALL 67-72 non-tilt and tilt and that the 2 piece black was used on replacement switches only after the original stock(red) was used up. The red was used in non-tilt vans for quite awhile after 72.

This is just my observations over the years - Bob

The head is snapped off my red one also. Maybe that is why my other one has a black one?
