I personally like turn signals on an early truck. Most trucks had them back in the day. Being commercial vehicles by and large it often paid an owner to add safety features.Turn signals weren’t really from the factory on ford trucks until I think 1956 or 57? Even cars didn’t have them until early 50’s.

But if you look there’s a lot of early period correct, and very cool lights you can get from companies like Signal Stat, my personal favorite, Teleoptic was another very early innovator. Yankee and Deitz as well being some of the most common, but there are others. I know in 1948-52 trucks they had a factory optional turn signal unit that was self canceling, a really big deal. Most of the aftermarket ones weren’t. Remember passenger side tail lights weren’t even on most trucks and front lamps weren’t used that way, so these kits used to come with 4 separate lights, mounted all different ways, that just were blinkers. That’s why early trucks look like Christmas trees on the back with all kinds of lights mounted, one set for brakes one set for turns, maybe a back up light or two, one set just reflectors.
