Drew is using the chassis and driveline from a late model truck with column for a 67-72, so his neutral saftey is in a completely different area than where we are used too.

Drew,

I doubt that the column switch has that much adjustment to get the reverse light on while in drive, but I have been wrrong before. Installing the column could move the switch by bumping, there should be two 5/16 head sheetmetal screwd holding it. Turn on the ignition and put the shifter into reverse.......oh ya engine not running or you'll be running after the truck! (saftey tip). Then loosen the bolt and tip the switch till the light come on, then just test to see that they are only coming on in reverse.
