Autozone has them. Take them out and head over with them, one is 15A and one is 30A. They look something like this, but the mounting tabs may be different.

One of the biggest problems i have run into is suspecting a particular part and then replacing it, only to find after much frustration that the new part is faulty. I replaced 4 voltage regulators until Tom from Maine sent me a video of how to adjust the regulator

Again, one is 15A and the other is 30A, so you’ll need 2 part numbers. I went to the local auto parts store and they found me the right parts in a few minutes.

8C would be the prefix describing the application for basic part number 1225, in your example. Basic part number 1225 is a rear wheel bearing. You may want to double check that.

I see what you did there with the smiley. It's the rest of the part number. lol. 8C 12258 D is called out in the catalog as Circuit Breaker and Bracket Assembly, has one 15A and one 30A circuit breakers, for 50-52 trucks F1-6. It should fit your application.

Based on the intermittent fault, I’d say there’s no way to test them. Speaking as an engineer, these types of components have a planned lifespan, I’m quite sure they are well past what the engineers planned for. It’s no accident that stuff breaks right after that warranty expires.

Also, I’m pretty sure you’ll find that there are two separate breakers there. I don’t have a schematic for the 51-52 so I don’t know which is which. Perhaps someone else can chime in. I’d take that to a parts store and see if they can get you replacements.

I received a NOS circuit breaker.It is not exactly like the old one,but sure it will work.Now getting it mounted back under dash is where the fun begins.Two small phillips screws are used for mounting and are going to be a real PITA to start.
