'54 F250 wiring questions

Looking for a '54 F250 wiring diagram.

What I have to do is connect the IDIDIT steering column wiring to the stock wiring.
I have the diagram for the column.

Was the stock signal flasher a 2 or 3 prong?What should be used?

Can anyone help?
Thanks

The stock signal flasher is 2 prong.
Mid fifty has the 12v version.

Here is the wiring diagram from the manual. I have yet to find a diagram that includes the flasher, so I'm drawing my own diagram. Although, I'm not sure how it plays out with your new column.


I purchased a wiring diagram from here:
1953 1954 Ford Pickup Truck Wiring Diagram - ClassicCarWiring
It is laminated and easier to read, but it still doesn't have the turn signal wiring in it.
Interesting side note. They sell the 53-54 diagram and sell 55 separate. I would have thought they were the same....

Can you show us the diagram for the IDIDIT column, maybe we can help piece it together for you.

Wow,thank you!
I'll try to post the diagram.

By no means the wiring is all stock on our truck.
It's has a TBI Chevy small block,AutoMeter gauges,after market tail/brake ights and spaghetti for wiring but at least I have something to work from.

Did the trucks not have turn signals?

Thanks everyone!
My son who is a is a mechanic came over yesterday to help with the wiring.
He cleaned up the wiring.
Got the turn signals working.I had to buy a two terminal turn signal switch to replace the 3 terminal that was in there.

The PO had wires laying on top of the exhaust in the rear which did not help.

When the Lokar shifter was installed by the PO,the engine would start in gear.
We found out that it was not wired correctly.I need to address that.

We can only get 1 speed out of the windshield wiper switch.Not sure if it is the switch or motor.

Blower motor does not work.Need to check switch and motor.

So after sitting four a year,the beast will be on the road soon!

@bjmayberry2 Do you have this worked out? Back in 1975, My EE dad wired a little circuit including the stock turn signal column switch, one of those phenolic terminal blocks, 4 simple diodes and a 1966 mustang emergency flasher switch. It worked well. I can dig it out of my storage shed and attempt to decipher the circuit if you need me to. I know my under dash wiring is not too deep in storage because I removed it only a year ago. I may have to go this route myself if the 1967 Mustang turn signal/emergency switch fitting to the 1954 column tube doesn't pan out.
