Original blinkers and headlight questions

[kendelrio]

All-
Kind of at a bump in the road.

What did the original Blinker lights that were here look like and where can I find them?



On my headlights, I have 3 wires, 17, 18 and 19 with female connectors.



On the harness side, I only have 17 and 18 and they are both female connectors.



According to Vintage, these are their uses:

17: Dimmer switch high beam to left headlight, right headlights and high beam indicator.







Now, I **do** have 3 male connectors on the harness:



Wires 20, 491 and 460J. According to the instructions from Vintage, those are

20: Headlight switch connector to left and right blackout marker lights

491: Light switch connector to left and right headlights

460J: Flasher relay (J) to right headlights.


Does 17, 18 and 91 from the headlight connect to 20, 491 and 460J? That's the way the connectors lay out.


Any help is appreciated.

I called Vintage and they didn't answer and their mailbox is full

OK, spoke to my guru @G744 and he lined me out. I have civilian buckets and blinkers. Will correct that issue

The front turn signals started out as the early style (smaller diameter) composite lights, later they switched to the standard larger composite lights, same as deuce and all the rest. They sorta fit the holes, and no trim rings or anything!

It looks like you are missing the bracket that the lights mount to (it attaches to the three bolt holes in the inner bulkhead). I am about to pull one of those out of one of my M715s (the one in the second picture) to replicate them for the one I am currently rebuilding since it is missing them, I can make a couple of extras for you. The bolts on the rear are the same for both styles of light housing, so same bracket works for both.

I can look at the headlight wires too, while I'm at it. Probably tomorrow morning

Cheers

That would be amazing! Let me know what I would owe and I'll be glad to send it along.

Yes, originally, they had the small old style cat-eye marker lights. They have been getting harder to find, but they are the same as the M37 and original M35's so that helps broaden the search. They look like this, Marker Light. The stand-off bracket is unique to the M715 series of truck, but are not hard to replicate out of some flat stock. They stand-off about an inch from the inner valance and mount with 3 bolts.

Here is a wiring schematic for the M715's with the stock turn signal distribution box and will show where each numbered wire goes.
