This is the handle to what I believe is the original Turn Signal switch on the 1940 Series 72.  If memory serves, this was one of the first vehicles in which turn signals were standard equipment.

As you can see, I have the handle.  But I need the switch.  Anyone know where I can get one?

You are correct in that your handle is the original '40 turn signal handle.  '40 was the first year for turn signals.  Not sure where to tell you to look for the switch mechanism..... you might email Brad Ipsen  and see if he has one.
