The switch on my '40 Has an imprint on top that says: Auto Light Chicago 9000 I'm guessing that it's an aftermarket unit. Anyone have a picture of the correct switch? Richard Waverly, IA

If you give me a couple of days, I can shoot a picture of an original 40 turn signal switch. dtm the toolman 60th Anniversary Meet Chairperson Dave VCCA # L 28873 VCCA #83 Tool Technical Advisor for 1914-1966 VCCA #83 1940 Chevrolet Technical Advisor
