If this is the 7 wire "Everlasting" signal switch, as pictured here:

It takes a three prong "Heavy Duty #551" flasher.

If you need the wiring diagram for it let me know.

Julie, that is the switch that I have, but it was wired like a spaghetti factory and not working when I took it out. If you have the diagram I would appreciate it.
Or is it the wiring in the 51 truck wiring PP you sent me (Truck Lighting Wiring)
Red-Stop switch
YW- LF
GR- RF
BR- RR
OR- LR
BK- flasher
BL Flasher (odd prong)

Yep, same one as the PP drawings I sent and as you describe.

Wire colors coming out of the signal switch in the diagram are correct. The ones for the lights and stuff are the colors on my truck, but the flow is correct.

"HOT BUS" is any 12 volt power source that stays on independent of the ignition switch - "SWITCHED BUS" is a 12 volt power source that is turned on or off by the ignition switch.

Let me know if you have any questions

Wow, only 3 wires? That's new!?!

Well honestly, if you run 12 volt and have 1176 bulbs in those lights, then the 551 should work - same electrical demand.

But I'd be guessing.
