Thread: Help Me Identify my GM Tilt Column

Tweet

Hello folks,

I have a 1947 Plymouth with a GM tilt steering column.
I need to replace the turn signal switch, and I don't know the specific application of the column, so I don't know which turn signal switch to order.

It is a column shift, for an automatic, without the shift indicator. It just has the hazard switch, no headlight or cruise control stalks. Based on the style of the hazard knob and the shift lever (chrome knobs - see attached pictures) I'm thinking it is from 1972 or earlier. One other clue, it also has the key-warning buzzer switch which gives it ten wires (as opposed to the earlier versions, which only had eight). Still, I have no idea if it is from a mid-size, full-size, truck, etc.

I have removed the switch but could not find any part numbers. I also inspected every inch of the column and could not find any part numbers or other unique characteristics.

I have found many different AC Delco switches on line, and they all appear the same, but have different part numbers and applications. Any tips or tricks on how to determine the specific application of my tilt column?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
