stop light
Ran search and unable to locate the thread on subject. If recall, with the disc brake swap you can not use the electrical stop switch with the 65 wire harness. Used an adapter and installed the original type pressure switch. Left the electrical connector intact if i can use it. Installed new harnesses except for the dash. Got everthing working except for the turn signals, and stop lights. Appears the two circuits are tied in somewhere, i have the diag. but limited knowledge on what to look for, Insert prongs in sockets and see if the voltmeter does anything. Anyhow, thought the switch may be the problem and if anyone has suggestion.
Any input, suggestions would be appreciated, Thank you.

Went out after posting and think found answer to own questions. First bleed brakes again, and tried both methods for the stop switch, pressure and electrical. Appartently the stop and turn circuit are connected. With the pressure switch everything is now working. Aint working with the electrical switch. Now that have the electrical completed, on to the next issue.

Dave, I pulled the two wires connected to the pressure switch out on the firewall back inside the cab and connected them to an electrical switch on the pedal from the donor. I also bypassed the flasher switch on the column and retained the one on the dash.

John, was not sure what circuit to use in setting up the electrical stop switch on the pedal. Appears from your description it should be an fairly easy project. Understand it is more favorable that using the pressure switch. Truck has been on block for over 3 yrs. and close to getting on the road. Currently everything is working so for the time being will leave as is. Expect to be making my monthy salvalge yard excursion and look for the pedal switch set up.
Thanks for the input

John, the stop lights are currently working off the pressure switch. Have not been able to really test yet, installed headers and until the exhaust system arrives have not wanted to test the patience of my neighbors. Still intend to look for the pedal switch and have as back up if i find the pressure switch will not work.
thank you for the input,
