turn signal canceling switch
if you have a 78-79 f series you will have a hard time finding a new switch. Ford dealers only go back to 1980. Napa computer spits out the wrong switch that looks completely diffrent. the good news is that a 1980 without tilt steering is almost the same. it has an extra wire for cruise controll that will have to removed and the steering column has to be modified because the 78-79 turn signal arm sets just a little higher.

I bought one of those canceling cams from NAPA for my '78 with cruise and tilt, but the plastic was too soft-wouldn't work at all. A new switch from Auto Zone was $100.00! I ended up getting a switch from the junk yard, not sure what year, and had to modify it by cuttig the plastic some to fit my column. there was a small alignment pin on the bottom of my column that had to be cut off-kept shorting out. Two months now-no probs.

i bought one from NAPA for my 77. It was about $12. No cutting needed. They're out there. A lot of times at NAPA, they just need to look it up on the paper catalogs to get it right. I belive they changed them from 1977-1978 model years.
