1959 Gmc Bread Truck
Hello ALL, I am new here. I am in Central Ohio, and I have recently acquired a beautiful old GMC Box Van, formerly used as a Bread Truck for Holsum Bread out of Phoenix, Arizona. Not sure what I intend to do with this baby, but she runs well, and I am just keeping her intact for the moment.
I have a question: Her brake lights do not work,  and my mechanic tells me that the Brake Light Switch is bad. It is a pressure operated switch, mounted on the master cylinder. NAPA can't locate a suitable replacement .... any ideas?  Thanks! |

Welcome.Is your truck a forward-control(StepVan) or a cowl/chassis(truck front end)?The brake light switch should be the same as the pickups.Try someone else,or go to NAPA and ask for the part for a pickup.
