Turn Signals

Does anyone know of a turn signal kit for an M38A1?

Truthfully we just get a civilian kit from the local truck shop and paint the lever assembly etc OD!!
Prolly not the "correct way" but it works just fine

I'm not sure of the mechanics of the process but if you PM favviking he can probably help out.

Hi Eric,

I have a military turn signal kit installed in my 52-m38a1. I installed it in the mid-90's. I will take pics over the weekend and post if you want.

Thanks papabear & Ted.
I'm sure I can make a non-cancelling turn signal setup with a double throw toggle switch & a flasher. I've done that before.
But I was wondering if there is a "correct" military setup for the M38A1.
Did they ever come with turn signals?

Eric,

Signal-stat 600 Sigaid.
only marking inside an extra box I have is; 8683544.

it had a complete add on harness & it tied into the 3-lever light switch. I added a left rear tail light to the right rear for better visability & used the front bo marker lights for blinkers. if I find the instructions, i'll post them up. pictures later.

Eric,

Here are the pictures, perhaps not the best though. I do have a apare signal arm and a box (pictured) that need a relay replaced.

I installed the water proof electronic module and lever that is the same used in the M35A2. It was an easy installation

You can also use the same generic military arm (switch) that is used on the M35 series truck.
It looks like it should be there is you fabricate your wire harness from black wire and use the correct wrapping tape or similar.
A place to check out is Vintage Wiring of Maine. This may not be the exact name but they are wonderful and can help supply you with the wrapping tape and connectors if you just want to get it done fast.
I'm going to do the same thing for my CJ2A and my M38 as well.
Good luck.

Eric,
Are you looking for correctness or functionale'?
Is your M38A1 stock 24 VDC?


Functionale:
Jeff at WWW.FLMV.NET has the wiring harness, Electronic Flasher, and Turn Signal Lever that is Mil spec surplus. (M151-take-offs )
wiring diagram is found here:

Correctness:
Relay box and lever are rare though obtainable on epay, c/l, so on..
