I have installed turn signals in quite a few old Fords.
My method had 2 required parameters.
1- It had to be self canceling.
2- It had to look like it came from the factory.

I used a 53 to 56 F100 column tube with turn signal switch intact.
I used 32/50 bulbs in the tail lights. NO problem seeing them if you were qualified to drive.
I used the parking or cowl lights for the front turns.
Some cars required minor machine work on the steering shaft to adapt the cancellng cam.
