Steering column pin out please
 
I'm rewiring this truck from scratch. It's made from tons of different parts. Not sure what year the column is though. Can anyone give me pin out information for these and what they do? Thanks.

You'll need to resize those pictures to a smaller size.. Can't tell a thing about them at this size.

These should be resized.

What year column?

White two prong thing looks like a neutral safety switch. Normally 2 purple wires(depending on year).

Black thing. Guess - pink fuel, black 12v in, yellow,green(turn signals), brown ?

Blue - no clue.

I have the turn signals and all lights connected already through another plug. I can ignore the white neutral switch as it will have a floor shift. The blue plug has a rod that goes to it from when you turn the key. I dont know the year of the column it was given to me from a parts lot. I need to fire out how to power the ignition switch then power to coil, starter,accessories.

They show normal to me. Do the pics Dead Parrot posted look better?

Based on the 'rod connected to key' info, blue might be the ignition switch if the rod moves as you turn the key. No clue on wiring outputs.

Ok, I think I've worked it out. The blue is ignition and I've been able to pin it out with my ohm meter. Knowing the white is neutral safety I'm thinking the black flat plug is wipers but I'm using a dash mounted wiper switch so I can ignore those for now.
