*Replacement Turn Signal Lever*
3 Attachment(s)
I have a 1984 Chevy steering column in my 49 truck and I'm wanting to replace the turn signal lever with one that does not have the wiper, cruise control, etc. on the lever. Do they make a replacement that is just a rod like the tilt lever is in the pic. The ones I've seen online have a different end where it connects inside the column. I found a billet set of 3 as in the pic but the end looks different. Anyone have any knowledge on how it connects inside the column or what would work. I should have paid closer attention when I replaced the turn signal switch.

In 84, the wiper controls were integral with the turn signal lever, with cruise control being an option.. The best you can do is find a lever that eliminates the CC switch. The wiper control is there for the duration. I don't remember the exact year (probably 1984) when GM moved the headlight dimmer switch and the wiper controls to the column and integrated them with the cruise controls.. Sure makes for a busy turn signal lever..

Thanks for the info. Did some research and 84 was the year it all went to the column. My column has the dimmer switch at the bottom of the column which is controlled by a rod and all the goodies on the signal lever. I have a couple emails out to vendors that sell aftermarket billet turn signal lever kits that come with the tilt & signal lever and the hazard button. Hoping they have a kit for my column. |

I have not seen one for the GM 84 up style column. But for the 83 down column.
they do have a few out there. There is re-placement signal lever like factory. you could get. (LMC, Classic Parts, & a few more) I think Eastwood sells really nice looks like all the real thing, chrome paint that you could paint the black plastic make it match the theme. good look on your search |

The only thing I know you could do is take your switch out and buy a stock metal, not billet and weld the end of yours to the switch you buy to work and not have the wiper's and such on it.:chevy:

Not a bad idea. I'll keep that in mind. Don't have a welder but I guess I could find someone. |

It is fairly easy to replace the column dimmer switch with a floor mount version. As mentioned above, the 84 dimmer is at the base of the column. The connector kept the same pattern as the floor dimmer but as the wires are too short, you will have to splice and extend. I did this on a CUCV as the column dimmer switch was shot and I wanted the dimmer location/function to match my 75.
This doesn't solve the lever question but does move one function out of the mix. |

I see you have these options on you signal lever - cruise control, wipers. As said you could try weld the tip on your new alloy stock but it will stick out about 1-1/4" more then it would. This will make you lose the option of cruise control. (1)option: If you do not care about the cruise control you could get a all black factory OEM signal lever 84-87 with (Mist OFF L0 Hl) markings this will fit you can pain with some of the alum paints or some of the chrome like paints or combo of the candy chrome paints. and it will fit in more like you want.(this will look like your now but will not have the button on the end or the switch horn sticking up for the resume of the cruise control.)https://www.rockauto.com/info/301/19...mary__ra_p.jpg (2) option: You can change your column to 73-83 style with tilt or with out tilt. This means you have to change your dash face bezel to 73-83 to the stye your looking for to get the dash mount wiper switch. then you have re-wire the wire switch to the dash switch. https://bowtieguy.proboards.com/thre...ce-bezels-fits this will help show you the break downs. This is pic shows wiper motor break down. https://bowtieguy.proboards.com/thre...-washer-repair I hope this May help you. |
