Backup light switch question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just installed Hurst 3 Speed shifter,had to get a backup light switch.I wanted to use the wires from stock switch to tie into,problem is don't see any wires to the transmission.Since this was 3 on the tree,could the wires and switch be in the column? Also how do I wire this switch up if I can't use factory wiring?
Thanks,
Dave

Your B/U switch is located on the steering column, Look under the dash, you will find the switch up on the top of the column. It is held on by 2 small screws with 2 wires in a clip that attach to it.
BTW .....Why did you put a floor shifter in??

Shifter tube gone out.Figured I would go ahead and put in the floor.It was going to cost about the same after parts and labor.Thanks for the info.

If it is a Hurst shifter you will need backup light switch and bracket,Hurst part #2480003 about $25.00
