Re: 1947 Panel Truck Frame swap with ’88 k2500

I intend to keep the original key switch in the ’47, and modify the foot button to work with the ’88 system. My list of objectives:
1. Retain the original ignition key switch and foot starter.
2. Adapt donor circuit to function from original key and footbutton
3. Modify foot button bracket to actuate momentary switch, relocate switch-originally on starter.
Is there room between the lower firewall and the rear of the engine?
First I’ll identify how the donor key switch functions.

From the manual:
STEERING COLUMN HARNESS CONNECTIONS
The steering column harness branches from the instrument panel harness and then to the turn signal or multifunction lever switch connector, the windshield wiper connector, ignition switch connector, the brake pedal ' 5 switch, connector, the dimmer switch connector, the , back-up switch connector, the position sensor connector ’ and the horn switch. Refer to figure 24 and to ACCESSORIES (SEC. 9) for the multi-function lever switch.

This image shows the Ignition switch connector, 232.
