67-72 Column wiring

[w00dst0ck]

Curious how people doing this swap are tackling the wiring?

Also, what is the electrical box with 3 pins towards the bottom of the column?

I was hoping to just swap all the guts and turn signal switch from my '65 column to the '72 column, but it's totally different.

Thanks!

Looks like I can just put a 67-69 turn signal switch in it? Looks to be the same connectors as the pre 67.

Edit: Nevermind. Looks like it changed in 67. I'm half tempted just to cut the connectors off my new '65 switch and splice the wires, but I'm hoping there is another way.

There are adapter harnesses available. The truck shop has them in stock.

I changed all of the wiring out myself. I could not see spending $35 on an adapter harness. I put female spade connectors on the cab wiring, and male spade connectors on the '72 column wires, and played with the wires until I had it all working properly.

I do not have the hazards working though, if you want them, it may be worth it to pay for the wiring kit, I think the flashers come with it.

I figure it cost me about $1.00 in connectors, and 30 to 40 minutes time.

ALSO,
To answer your other question about the 3 terminals at the bottom of the column, that is the neutral safety switch.
