My rusty/ratty 1948 Chevrolet truck

I remembered the camera!!!!

This was my solution for the brake switch. I mounted a mid 80's GM switch in the top, rear surface of the S-10 brake bracket and then addwd an arm to the back of the brake pedal. The you hit the brakes, the lever moves up...and off of the switch. (I should have taken pics while the whole assembly was out.

Here are pics of my turn signals.



With the lense removed. The arrow is made from 2 LED clearance lights from Wally-world.


These were the left overs from the clearance lights (some cutting required)


I made a bracket from a piece of jaguar XJS chrome (I recycle)


I re-used the OLD turn signal switch that was in the truck when I bought it (spray-bombed of course). The wires are pulled through a piece of un-shrunk heat-shrink tubing. Looks nice and it was damn near free.

I realized I need more switches (electric fan and hazard lights), but didn't want them mounted just anywhere. I squeezed them in my new "seat dash"



It was a tight fit trying to fit them in the switch panel that was not designed for any extra stuff. I made a cardbodrd template that was the same size as the switch and used a cener punch to find a spot where the switches fit.





It worked great!

The dash-dash now has idiot lights. The outside ones are for turn signals, the inner ones are oil pressure and water temperature.


Wiring that stuff up.....sucked!
