code 8-50-0 directional,signal,& parking
there is no listing for WM series in the 59
parts book
my 63-68 book shows some WM300 listings
under 8-50-0 (serial number specific)
and also under 8-50-303 (dealer kits)
so it appears that these were Dealer Installed aftermarket options rather than factory which would explain the random location that your pictures show
there might have been a template in the kit or certain states may have had specific locations - who knows ? the phantom
I would imagine that most fire departments and utility companies would have had to retrofit all their trucks in the late 50's and early 60's and would probably have used whatever aftermarket kit was available at the time. Private individuals & companies might have done the same to comply with state and local laws
bottom line on early trucks random placement
as you look at pictures you will find them everywhere:
maui dave's carryall - under the fender below the headlights - same with paul B's wc4
my 48 - on the front bumper
