Re: 55-59 hazard switch

I have never seen a hazard switch for that early of a truck. If it has one then its an aftermarket item.

Re: 55-59 hazard switch

some 70's and later aftermarket turn signal switches had the flasher in the housing and were set up to flash all four lights. I have the one that I put on my truck in 76 when I first bought it.

Re: 55-59 hazard switch

i think i deleted it from my watched items but it was for sale about a month back. the light switch looked like the 58-59 one and came with the knob. and the hazard had a matching knob also.

could have been a modified one i guess

Re: 55-59 hazard switch

These seem to be a popular period add-on. Most of the ones I've seen don't have the chevy logos on the knob. Maybe a dealer add-on?

flarestat signal-stat model 105

There was one that sold recently on fleabay that happened to be listed as a 1958 chevy truck switch.

Re: 55-59 hazard switch

I'll have to look in my options book and see if they did have one.

Re: 55-59 hazard switch

Re: 55-59 hazard switch

I saw no option in my Taskforce options book for flashers. They had signals but they didn't have a 4way flasher in the kit. So it must have been a later kit
