Need help identifying Steering Column Wires

I am helping my friend Clean up the wires on his 1956 F100. Well we got a good amount done, but now the Brake Lites Dont Work. I tested the switch and that works, and based on the fact we just rewired it I am thinking I put something back together wrong.

He has an old Ford Steering column without any key on it. Can anyone help ID the wires coming from the Column?

Colors are:

Blue/Red
Blue/Yellow
Blue
Green
Green/White
Green/Orange
Orange
Orange/Blue
White/Blue (2 different wires)
Yellow

Also can anyone verify does the the Brake switch wire go back into the column?

Try this site it has some wiring diagrams, I picked one for a 76 Ford F100 should be the same wiring.

on edit
If the hazard switch is on the column the brake light wire does go into the column to the turn signal switch, I can't remember if the trucks with the switch external to the column are wired the same.
