Brake light diagram

Hey,
I was wondering if anybody has a brake light diagram to help me wire up my brakes. I have two brake lights that came with the truck so im planning on using them. My brake pedal assembly looks like it has some sort of plug in on it, so when you hit the brake pedal it sends power to the brakes? Im not going really for originality or anything just something thats reliable. could i just run a line from the plug to the two brake lights and then another wire from the plug to the fuse box? any tips would help im a novice when it comes to electrical. Also any tips on making the brake lights work as turn signals as well, ive got a 1950s chevy turn signal switch.

Re: Brake light diagram

what year vehicle are you trying to wire? I have 55-59 diagrams, you should be able to find earlier trucks on google using the search>images feature and typing in the year of your truck.
