Automatic Steering Column - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm swapping my 3/tree for an Automatic. Besides the column pigtail, there is another single wire (see pic). Is this the fiber optic for the gear selector. If so, is the socket and bulb missing? If not, does anyone know what this is for AND where does the fiber optic cable go. Are there any references on this?

Thanks

The single wire is a fiber optics cable and it plugs into a special bulb socket that is plugged into the gauge panel.
