1995 F150 VSS help!

Hello, I recently purchased this 1995 f150 4x4 with the 351, upon trailering it home I found out that it shifts hard and the speedo doesn't work OD light blinking. Googled my issue and found out it's the Vss on the rear diff. I climbed under the truck and found out it's not even connected.... cannot find a wiring harness only some spliced wires, I think that may be the wire but not entirely sure....

Red with a pink stripe & light green with a black stripe.
They are twisted pair all the way down the frame in the loom.

oops my memory was wrong,lol. But the wiring will most likeley still be in the loom further forward it is doubtful anyone cut it out, most likely broke close to rearend and cobbled up. Keep going forward in the loom I bet you will find them and can then make repairs easily.
