I have a bunch of wiring i.e. firewall SQ connectors from 62 galaxie & Falcon also all the dash & vent controls, when I had 2575 here I took a good look at the wiring & controls It's all early ford.

I got you. You probably already know but the Alt lamp on the later Autolite cars was made specifically for Cobra's. It was similar to the Emergency Flasher lamp used in the truck but w/o the lettering around the bezel.

Nice! The emergency flasher lamp used on the truck is the same fixture with a different bezel. If I can find someone locally who can do metal spinning, I'm going to have a couple stainless bezels made up to fit the old flasher fixture.
