Will a Ford B4Q-18440-A Turn Signal Kit work on a 1953 F350? it is listed as 53-55 F700 - F800 but I cant really see a difference, thanks

For the larger trucks:

I don't have an immediate complete breakdown, but as best I can tell, the B4Q-18440-A is made up of some different parts including:

FDM-14486-A
FDM-14499-A


It boils down to "Yes, there are differences. Do they matter (to you)?"

 

Thank you for the info, greatly appreciated

 

The switch itself is physically larger and will not fit into the f100-f600 bell of the column
