Hidden ignition switch

I was thinking of putting in a hidden toggle switch that needs to be flipped on before the truck can be turned on.

Was jut going to tap into it behind the dash. I assume one of the wires coming out of the keys ignition would work. Any ideas which one??

If you unplug the switch there should be abbreviations on the inside of the plug. I assume the one that says IGN is the ignition. I dont know if all of em have this but mine does.

Like the above post, I have one running through my neutral safety switch. Easiest thing there is to do with the wiring on these trucks.

My alarm has a built in starter disengage. The module controls a relay that I wired into the wire that runs to the solenoid. As long as the system is armed, the ignition is killed by the relay.
