Changing 73 Column Ignition switch to 67-72 Dash Ignition Switch
 

Hi All,

I'm in the process of installing a shorter, collapsable tilt steering column in my 73 Squarebody. I couldn't get one with a column key locally that complied with our laws, so I need to put an ignition switch in somewhere.

I was thinking about using a dash ignition from a 67-72 c10, hoping the wiring would be similar.

Looking at the wiring, I'm honestly a bit confused. Is anyone able to help me out?

It's each of the stages and what to swap to where that has me. I feel like the squarebody has a lot of swap wiring that the early one doesn't and it's throwing me off! But also I don't have a great wiring diagram to work off of for the earlier model either.

I appreciate any help y can offer. Thanks!

Actually I have found a local ignition switch off of a Holden - Basically Chevy (GM) in Australia.

I'm hoping I could use that? I can't find any details searching sorry!

Color coding should be pretty close. I'd say go for it. I've seen some hacked up stuff that has come into the shop with just toggle switches everywhere
