wiring on an 85 chevy tilt column - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Howdy all! New here and im finding lots of great info and ideas! I am a diesel mechanic and dirt bike enthusiast. Have never been much of a hot rod guy, but im trying my luck with restoring and customizing a 70 C20 on a Cummins Dodge chassis. So far everything has been pretty straight forward, except for the wiring coming out of the column. I chose an 85 C10 floor shift tilt for the 70, and its all together different. Now obviously im moving the key sw to the column, and wont be using the cruise control. Any help on which wires do what on this column? Will only need ignition and turn sigs. Guages will be a stand alone Dakota Digital set up. Been on Painless Wiring and Amercan Automotive websites and found nothing too close to this. Thanks in advance!
