Has anyone got a picture of what is correct?

And what is the correct wire routing?

hello , actually thats the 12 volt lead for the electric kickdown/passing gear . the reverse light switch is on the lower part of the steering column . no retainer , just push it on until it locks on .

Okay thanks, but I still need to know if there is some way of retaining it so it dose not fall off.

Also, where does the other end of the wire go to? I do not think this truck has any added circuity to power this. I thought I had a vaccum modulated system.

Can you help shed some light on this?
