Looking for turn signal hardware 46Ford truck

I'm currently updating my 46 Ford 1/2 ton truck and would like to add turn signals for safety. I haven't been able to locate a unit. Any recommendations of where to locate a good unit would be appreciated. phil.

Macs sells a kit to change where your parking lights are to park and turn. And they also sell kits to mount the lever or knob to either your shifter or your steering column.

If you look at their cat for 32-48 Passenger, 39-48 Mercury and 32-47 Pickup; look on pages 114 and 115. Sub heading Turn signal Conversion Kit & Wire and also Turn Signal Kits & Parts

As a tip to keep it a bit cheaper. I went to my local Pep Boys and picked up a light socket for a dual filament bulb, like an 1157, and replaced the stock socket in my parking lights with the new one, and it's a direct fit. Cheaper than buying new housings and all if you don't need them.

Thanks for the information

I saw the 2 ads in Mac's. Didn't think I would like the more expensive one that goes on the shifter. Wasn't sure about the second one. I just wanted one that would attach to the steering column and add a level of safety to the truck. I'll go back and recheck the ones at Mac's...have had good luck with them in the past and will also check out what's on c and g. Thanks for the help. phil.

I just thought of a different one today. They have universal turn signal switches for big trucks. (Mack, Peterbuilt, Freightliner, Sterling, L series Fords, etc) You will probably have to go to some big truck supply shop or garage to find them.
