Finally scored a pair of factory turn signals!!

[Guest P15-D24]

Lots of look alikes on ebay, but this set matched the rather unique lens pattern seen in the parts book. (long bar, two very short bars. ) Little bead blasting and they should look new. And the "hood" is adjustable so they can be used for either front fender or cowl mounting (my preference). And the set I got actually works!

Here is a picture of a factory turn signal switch and cable driven tach on my 4 tonner. It`s got the hooded arrow turn signals on the truck too.

Very cool accessories. Did you find the tach and switch or were they on the truck? Does your 4 tonner have the factory dual intake and exhaust?

[Bob_Koch]

glad you got those. I've never seen the real thing before

[Dodgeb4ya]

The truck came with all the above , dual intake/exhaust,distributor cable driven tach, HD turn signal switch and factory rear view inside mirror too.

Were they accesssorys? Everyone I have seen has had the regular fender mounted lights without the arrow. Nice item!

[Dodgeb4ya]

The lights and turn signals were an optional item. There are two styles of optional turn signal switches. The one in the above pic is kinda a strange looking factory T/S switch and then there is another that looks more like a 50`s style car/truck after market switch but is also a factory mopar truck T/S switch. The 1948-53 Dodge truck parts book shows all of the above.

My '51 B-3-B had the same T/S switch as shown in the picture above but had to do away with it when I Incorporated the rear turn signals in with the tail lights.

Here`s some more of these lights. There is a couple different styles.

Wow, I have parted out 10 of these babies over the past year and have yet to see lights like that. Pretty neat.

I've been looking for a set of those lights for a while now. Even the generic aftermarket arrow ones are hard to find.
