Electrical Question

Great Board here!
Main question.....I have a 1979 F150
w/351m....auto....4x4. Is it supposed to have
2 flasher cans or just 1? I see one under the dash,
but is there another hidden? My Jeep CJ has one for TS &
one for emerg. lights.
Any input would be appreciated!!
Thank you,
Matt

I have to take the instrument cluster off my '68 to get to one of them, forget which. Seems like I remember it mounted to the back some how. It's been a while since I was at it.

The second flasher on my 69 is up and to the left of the steering wheel , behind the dash/gauges. I had to remove the dash to notice it.

Thanks for all the info!!
The rest of the story-->
When I was changing the TS socket I crossed
the wires and popped the signal can.
So with a flashlite I was under the dash,
found the can tucked clear up under the top of dash!
Finally got everything going just right!!
Thanks,
MATT
