Turn signal switch interchangability

Will the turn signal switch from a 78-79 F series truck fit a 75?
Manual trans, no tilt.

According to the parts catalog, no. You need D3TZ-13341-A. 78/79 uses D8TZ-13341-C.

I know that. But, 78 was when they went to a momentary flash (lane change) feature on the turn signals, so I'm wondering if the switches will interchange.

Just checked catalog again. One from a 73-77 M/T non-tilt will work. They all take the same one. They are available NOS. Google the part number to find a supplier that has one.

Not sure if they will interchange. Probably would have to see if the connectors would match up.
