Steering column and wiring question.

I have a 1978 F150 manual transmission that I ordered a new steering column from JBG. The new column has a different plug than the old one and i was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem before. The old column does have one more wire and i was also wondering what that belonged to as well. I would like to make this one work if possible without sending it back. Not much on the truck as far as body is original but i thought the wiring harness was


This is the plug from the original column




Replacement column




JBG part #27030

Called jeff's today and that is a GM style plug and unfortunately it uses a gm steering wheel so that brand new one i just bought might have to get exchanged...... but progress will continue.
