Others, well, just form your own opinion. The 47, and 48 ignition locks are different. Your 48 has the "tang" as talked about in a few replys back. 47s are just two position switches, and have no tang. Keep up the GREAT work, and dont get discouraged! The only dumb question is one that is not asked! _________________________ SARGE "Heaven is Driving my 47" With that "GOOD GULF" gasoline. http://www.gulfhistory.org/?

ruscar Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 06/08/07 Posts: 183 Loc: GA.	Thanks, but I do have the correct switch. I also sent all the locks, door, trunk, and glove box out and had "keyed" alike as per the original '48. One key fits all. Thanks anyway! _________________________ Russell #38868 '48 4 door Fleetline
