Turn signal switch. Best place to buy? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need a new switch for my non tilt column. I think the column is a 67, but I don't think that makes a difference with this part, truck is a 71. I have seen them in some of the catalogs for around $25. I only want to tear the column apart one time. Looking for best place to buy a quality unit that I can depend on.

I bought mine through GM years ago and have never had a problem with it. I look at it this way you pay for what you get. Quality normally goes hand in hand with price. The lower the price,the lower the quality. The higher the price the beter the quality.

fade94 · 11-14-2005, 11:56 AM

Any idea if GM still carries this part?

jsbgump · 11-14-2005, 12:00 PM

I really have no idea. I bought mine almost 8 years ago.

My dealer in Ft Worth still stock them. They used them way up into the 90's on step vans.

The GM turnsignal switches now have the flat plug and require you to purchase the conversion piece to be able to use them on our trucks. We have the switched with the half moon plugs in stock for both standard and tilt columns. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

I just bought one at O'reillys auto parts. $46.00 plus tax.

fade94 · 11-14-2005, 09:36 PM

matt67350, I have seen it on their website but it is special order. How does the quality look? Did it come with the adapter harness? BTW, on the website, it shows to be $38

I found the switch on the site. However, the picture shows a flat plug. I did not see an adapter listed. Does it come with it? If not, can you give me the link to it?

I saw a NOS one on eBay with the original style red HAZARD button and half-moon plug, but it was $50 buy it now.

69TowRig · 11-14-2005, 11:53 PM

GMC Paul's carries the correct switch with the half-moon plug and the red hazard knob for $35.95, part number 132882. I bought one a couple months ago, works great, fits great, and the little red button looks better than that newer pull-style black one anyway!

I got my switch and adapter at the local Chevy dealer. Here are the part numbers.
Turn signal switch - 1972751
Turn signal switch harness assembly for the above switch - 1894851
