It means he's got a '67-'69...and that he has to lean over and pop the glovebox door to turn 'em on.

I think it also means that you need to have the turn signal on as well in order for the hazards to work. At least that was the case on one of my trucks.

They work without turning on the turn signals. The two systems have separate flasher units.

Agreed about the two flashers. My emergency flashers work fine without the turnsignals. The real pain is reaching all the way across the cab.

Some '67-'72 switches were installed on the dash and others inside the glove box.

Three places, on the dash, under the dash and in the glove box (who wears gloves anyway?)

Fancy ladies who don't like riding in these trucks anyway.

Faithful Old Road Dog is right folks. There was a change in the turn signal assembly during the build for 1967, at least that's what I've been able to piece together. There are two different part numbers in any event for the same turn signal module. If you have the right combination (actually, the wrong combination), you have to turn the turn signal on to the left hand turn position and then turn on the hazards----from the glove box. That's what I have to do in my truck.

Can any of you email me some pictures of the dash mounted switch. I am adding it to my truck eventually. I just want a stock looking location.

Thanks!

Bryan

Where can I buy a replacement?

Mine is broken- the back fell off and I cannot rebuild it correctly. I'll need to take it out of the glove box.

Anyone have any suggestions??

These things are very fragile and tend to come apart extremely easily so be careful when handling. I got a mint flasher switch on ebay for around $5.
