53 F100 Turn signal help
I would like to install turn signals on my 53 F100. It has never had turn signals and want to keep as stock as possible. I have a 12 volt system. Been looking for a "how to" on this without much success. Wiring is not my strongest area, but I want to learn it. Any suggestions on where to go for a step by step guide for dummies?
Thank you

Here is essentially what you need:
Vintage Style Universal Turn Signal Switch Rock Crawler Rat Rod Hot Rod | eBay
Whatever model you buy, it should come with detailed wiring instructions.

I recommend the ones NAPA sells. Make sure you get one that integrates the brake lights into the turn signals or you will have to add 4 new lights just for turn signals.

The factory style switch is available:
1953-60 Ford F-100 Turn Signal Switch - B6C-13341-A
The '53 uses the round **** on the handle:
1948-56 Ford F-100 Turn Signal Handle, Chrome, Round ****
And you would need the self-canceling ring:
1948-60 Ford F-100 Turn Signal Cancel Clip - FAA-13318-A
1953-60 Ford F-100 Turn Signal Switch - B6C-13341-A

I saw this switch in mid fifty catalog and called them about it. Could not be understanding of this switch. Here at my questions:
I assume you need to take the steering wheel off. Not sure how to do this and have the shop manual.
Why the pins on the wires? Do they feed inside or outside the column?
I assume the purpose of the cancelling clip is to turn the signals off after the turn is completed. will you see this clip on tope of the steering wheel.
I would love to keep as stock as possible but unsure of the installation.
Thx again for the help. Making custom kick panels today.

The pins would fit into the original type wiring harness for a truck equipped with factory signals.
The major difference installing this switch from the externally mounted switch is pulling the steering wheel. It is held to the bottom of the "bell" with two small screws, and one screw holds on the handle. All of the wiring would be pretty much the same.
