Back-up lights on 67?
Hey guys. I swapped a 360/c6 with power steering from a 72 F100 into my 67 F100, the 67 was a standard previously. The column has the plug for back-up lights coming from the column but I'm not sure if there is a plug for it in the 67. Did the standards come with the back up lights? Do I have to wire it up special or what? Any help appreciated, thanks guys.

My '67 has the switch located at the bottom of the column for the neutral safety switch and the back up lights.
The truck (originally an auto) is waiting to be switched to a stick. Hopefully in a couple weeks it will happen

Ain't nothing wrong with auto's... As for the lights, I'm sure all 67-72 trucks, and the years after that, all had backup lights. Thats why they have the little white squares made into the tailight lenses. I don't think they had them earlier than this, at least I know my dads '64 doesn't. My switch on the column didn't work once I switched to a floor shift, so I just conected the two wires coming from it to a toggle switch under the dash. I only use them if its really dark and can't see behind me. If I ever change to an auto, I will get one of those rachet shifter's that have a built-in backup light switch.

The standards did have a b/u light switch on the bottom of the column in the engine compartment. You'll have to find the plug for it and install a jumper wire. There is a plug in the dash harness that has a four wire jumper attached. You can remove the jumper and plug in your column switch wiring. It's a combination neutral start and backup light switch.
