I still haven't done anything with this yet, but the blade style harness is readily available in the aftermarket world for around $20-25. It's doubtful that any local stores stock it, but it can be ordered in. The wires are not color coded.

So, I have a 1969 F250 CS that I am rescuing. The ignition switch, lock cylinder, and bezel nut are missing. I bought a parts store replacement switch and a new lock cylinder. The switch and plug are not the round pin style that caused problems. The issue I'm having is that the switch does not fit properly in the dash. The support bracket fits the switch fine but it doesn't hold it in the correct position. It appears as though it holds it too far rearward. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Also, when I connect the plug to the switch and attempt to start it, it does nothing. Evidently I've got an issue with connectivity but that's a separate issue.

Welcome to FTE.
First you have to make sure you have the switch clocked right in the hole. This will not only keep all the positions of the switch in there correct position, but also allow the switch to come as far forward as it can. The bezel is cylindrical so it can reach back to the switch.
