Re: Blinker Issues
The aftermarket turn signal units behind the steering wheel are very cheaply made. I had problems with the one in my 66. The way the plastic is molded around the switch contacts isn't very good. Mine was grounding out and doing weird things. When I pulled it out I could see how it was failing. I went and bought an "original gm" switch from Classic Industries and wow, what a big difference in quality. It did, however, cost nearly 4 times as much. I'm not sure if they make the original type for the 60-63 pickups but I'd try to find an original used one in good shape if they dont.
