Neutral Safety Switch Conversion

I'm putting my '74 2X4 F250 body on a '79 4X4 frame. Do I splice the '74 neutral safety switch wires attached to the steering column to the '79 safety switch harness on the C6 tranny? And does anyone know which wires to connect together?

It should be the Red/Blue wire coming from your starter relay post. I did the same as you but opposite. I kept the neutral safety switch on the column and bypassed the switch on the tranny. My thoughts were/are if something goes wrong its right there in the cab

Thanks for the reply. I was led to believe I couldn't use my '74 2X4 steering column with the 4X4 frame set up. Is this incorrect?

Sounds like you could always try stabbing it in, and see for sure.
