Re: '74 Reverse light

Found this site and I believe I'm looking at wire 18 24lg as the backup lights. And they for sure come into the cab thru the bulk head.

Problem is I loose wire 18 24LG in the cab and can't find it. I thought it would be somewhere in the steering column wording but in not sure.

Anyone know where I can find it in the cab or verify where it is on the bulkbhead?

It's kind of ambiguous, but the way I read it, the B/U lights switch - as used with a 4 speed manual trans - is the only one that is mounted on the trans casing.

The service manual/wiring diagram show the switch used with a 3 speed as being mounted in the same spot as if it were for an automatic transmission (i.e. on the top of the column right up against the firewall penetration. Or if not there, right nearby.

Re: '74 Reverse light

Thanks, I found it. lt green in a 2 pole connector half way up the steering column bundled with the steering column wire. The other wire in the connector was dk green.

The truck had 3 on the tree in it and the stock wiring harness is amazingly un-molested. Of course I'm cutting it a bit but someone had to do it.
