This is factory new. Makes the flasher energize the rear turns when only the brake switch should provide power with the switch at rest.
I will get pinout diagram for future reference. This is the classic parts 53-507 |

Here is what it should look like. These switch contacts will not hold spring tension.

Potential solution to better quality spring contacts for $130 worth of parts? Now to see if I can makes contacts.
Next option is Brownells gunsmith supply for spring stock. |

Well, the cheap fix to a new part is working. it was a bit fiddly to get the correct bends and tension. material that is a bit wider would work better, a friend of mine in the model railroad/ slot car world suggested windshield wiper metal inserts. That might be next.
I will relay that Jared at Tucker's Parts has been excellent to work with. Offered to issue a refund, but I explained what I had done and did not feel like I could take them up on the refund. I have reached out to Classic industries but have not heard anything yet. |

a couple of quick notes on these two switches for our 1963 2500.
The classic 53-507 wire colors match the truck colors, I cannot verify that the truck has the original under-dash harness. The Tucker's parts have different colors but function exactly the same. |
