87 250 fuel transfer switch

I'm working on an 87 f-250 Lariat 4X4 with the 460 in it. This truck is going to be my work truck in Central America for a couple years. When we picked up this truck the salesman said one of the tanks leaked but he couldn't remember which one so I pulled the rear and found it was fine. Ordered a new side tank and dropped the old one to replace. This is where it gets a little tricky. The owner had cut out the fuel transfer switch and wired it so it worked off the rear tank only. I found a replacement transfer switch but can't find out which wire is what. The wires that are cut are Brown, yellow, and red heading back toward the cab and yellow/blue and blue/yellow heading to the back. Is there anyone out there who can tell me what these wires are or can point me to a good wiring diagram. Any help would be gratly appreciated

Thanks in advance

I was lucky enough to borrow a little time for mitchells on demand from a local garage t5hat my son had worked for and was able to match wire for wire to new switch.
