Just wondering if anyone has installed 4 way hazard flashers on their 57?if so could you post a schematic?
I still have the stock column and wiring
Thanks in advance
John

I have hazards, but I can't be of any help as my RF Express wiring harness was built to accommodate, among other things, a '97 Mustang steering column, which had the hazard switch built in, and the fuse panel had the built-in flasher unit/wiring.

Instructions are not for a '57 but if you squint really hard, it will get you there.

Here is another page with info for that other brand. https://www.trifive.com/threads/four-way-flasher-installation.59216/

There is Vintage Yankee aftermarket. Switch that would come with all the wiring. 

The 66 Ford cars had a 1 year only 4 way flasher system, that had a switch mounted inside the glove compartment. I have wondered how difficult it would be to install that setup into a late 50s Ford. After 66, they all used a switch on the steering column.

On 66 Ford one.  It's still a harness with a flasher at some point intercepting the front TS and the brake lights.  The rest is just very nice switch and mount. 
Thought it would look for that sort of schematic to build one. 

Also be mindful if running LED rears. You may have to have an electronic not a regular flasher.  This assuming you are still running OEM style wiring.

  My 66 Bronco had a dash mounted 4-way flasher push/pull switch also. A 1966 Ford wiring diagram would be a place to start.

There were several kits sold back in the late 60's - early 70's.  Dietz made a nice one. I would think that some of the big fleamarket vendors might have one as they weren't big sellers back then.

Install a S.P.S.T. toggle switch across the wires to the front turn signals.  With the switch in the OFF position, the turn signals work as designed.  With the switch in the ON position, and the turn signal lever in either the right or left position, all four turn signals will flash.   John
