Wiring colors

Can anybody give me the wiring colors for 1967 or 68 model F-100 turn signals? I mainly need these because I am installing a 67 column in a 65 F-100. The previous owner installed a late 70's column and never hooked up the turn signals. I really would love to be able to drive the truck but I can't mainly due to this one small problem. The colors I need are the one's coming out of the column, and what they go to.

Thanks

My beloved 67's! Tell you what, register the 67 parts truck on my site in the RIP catagory, I'll start digging out the wiring colors.

Stockman,

I would love to get the info and go ahead and register the truck, but can a truck that has already been sent to parts heaven be registered on your site? If so, I will get the vin info and register it one day next week. I am going to have to find some wiring info, so I can get this 65 safety inspected next week. The turn signals, four ways, and horn are all that stands in my way. Except for getting the accelerator linkage fixed.

"Parts heaven", I assume, is a polite way to say crusher, right? I will apologize in advance for the off-topic digression I am about to engage in. I had originally intended the Registry project to document only viable trucks people were restoring or driving. I soon realized that not only should I document existing trucks, but I should track parts trucks or demised trucks, or trucks that people owned once upon a time and sold as well. All I need is the door tag data, or at the very least the VIN with a brief description of the truck and it's last known whereabouts. Wouldn't it be neat if you had a 67 you wish you had never sold and it turns up as someone's project truck being restored half-way around the world? I think so. :-)


I will scan the 67 turn signal wiring diagram and send it to you. Quite honestly, I find it a little complex to understand, but I think you will find it beneficial since you are retro fitting the 67 column to the 65.

No, it hasn't gone to the crusher. I think there are to many more viable parts left on it, such as the engine, tranny, and some other parts. I did find out however that I can use the tailights, and housings off of a 67 on my 65. Just so I can add the back-up lights. I can go to the yard probably Monday of next week, and get the numbers off of it. Hopefully I can be driving it by then.

This is the truck I just bought, if you haven't seen it. I just got back from a 2400 mile round trip just to pick it up. It's in really good shape, no rust, not wrecked, and very little bondo (only in holes the owner had filled. such as the rear wrap around bumper bolt holes, and a couple of mystery holes on the passenger side of the box about 2 inches apart.)

Thanks, I am giong to have to do something about that column this weekend, plus that little dinky steering wheel is going to be going as well. I feel like I'm driving a clown car!

After all I'm 6'6" and I have to use a steering wheel that is no bigger than 13" in diameter? It's just a little small.

Much faster, I'll take the 390 over the 302 in my 88 anyday!

I am going to have to change the spacer under the carb out though, the lady at the inspection station is going to have kittens if she sees it like it is now. It has an egr spacer between the carb and intake. I can change that though. Right now I have more pressing matters at hand, mainly te aforementioned turn signals and horn. But the other thing is the accelerator linkage. I bought a setup off of the same 67, but nothing wants to work. Either the accelerator I have in the truck is wrong, or I don't have the right arms to work with the Holley 2300 2 barrel carb that is on top of the 390. I am leaning toward the latter. But I might have to end up going to get the corect accelerator that I need. I know I have to change out the shifter linkage. To put the truck into Drive, you have to put the shifter into 1st, but reverse & park are still in the same location. Hmmm, guess I'll figure this out one way or another.

It did get 14mpg coming home though, surprised me! The worst mileage was only 11mpg, I was told to expect around 8 or 9. But 14! Made my day!
