ignition switch swapping

question guys my ignition switch quit on me so I need to find out if the wiring color code form a 80 e-series van is the same as the one in a 79 f100 that was the only compatible switch I could get locally and i need to get it swapped out tomorrow.

Thanks,
yonu

D8TZ11572A .. Ignition Switch (Motorcraft SW1494)

Fits: 1978/79 F100/350 & Bronco / 1978/1979 Econoline.

1980 and later Econolines do not use this switch.
