Sorry, the parts book has no picture or diagram of the apparatus, just these part descriptions and numbers.

The turn signal shown here on page 721 of the Ford chassis parts and accessories catalogue aka "The Green Bible" is actually the 1949-1950 Ford clamp on turn signal assy SXTS-B. The 49-50 Ford part number was an OA prefix but for fitting the kit to the 1942-1948 Ford column it is under this part number 6A-18440,you notice that on down the list some of the components have the OA prefix. The green bible only covers the years 1928-1948 but look inside the front cover and you will see it was compiled in November 1950 and list replacement parts,not neccesarily an original part. The SXTS-B clamp on turn signal I think would be the most correct to put on the 1942-1948 Ford and it is a really well built part. I had one on my 1946 Ford that was dealer installed in 1951for the original owner and have used them on most other old Fords I have owned including my 1937 Ford coupe,all with naturally the 1 1/2 " steering column. Too me it is a lot nicer looking unit on a nicely restored 1946 Ford than to look in and see a cheapo Chinaman one.
