Ignition switch
I got told today that the 70-72 trucks had the option for the switch to be mounted in the column is that true?

Re: Ignition switch
Nope. Not until the '73's did the trucks have ignition on the column. Somebody was mis-informed.

Re: Ignition switch
I never heard of that option. I've owned and looked at these trucks for more years that I care to say, and I've never seen one with the column ignition unless it was converted.
If it was an option, it was a rare one. |

I think whoever told the guy that was pulling his leg... Someone probably changed the column and told him that when they sold him the truck. If it was an option it would be listed on the glove box sticker..... LockDoc

Re: Ignition switch
Or maybe a photo of the column so we can ID it and tell you what year parts to ask for.
It wasn't avalible till 73, period. |
