So the original short block on the LV is nearing the end of its service life and needs some work. The press on crank pulley has about 5* or rotational play on the crankshaft so I'm assuming that the keyway isn't far from letting go. It also rattles like hell when its idling (probably also when...
I’m looking for a good serviceable 70-74 F Short Block.
The crank pulley on the LV is rattling more every day so the key can’t be long for this world.
I would also take an early Short Block depending on price and location.
I’ll buy it from you if you can’t figure it out.
I think it’s a reverse light switch and bracket for a column shift 3 speed. It mounts to the steering box near the linkage.

The harness is restored and reinstalled.
Overall the harness was ok but a few new wires and a few new parts and it’s good as new.

I sold this truck about 10 years ago.
Before I did I moved the axles into my current LV and replaced them with rollers.
@wileycoyote ended up with it at some point according to the LV list but has since sold it again.
At this point I have no idea where it is but I would love to have it back.
I don’t generally get excited about new parts but the fact that you can still get a radiator for a 58 year old truck new from Toyota is shocking even for me.
The original finally gave up. A few dollars and 30 minutes later and the LV is god to go for another few decades.
I take it all back. It’s more like an 8/10.
It looks like the only real short was between the ignition switch and the fuse panel. It will be good as new in no time.
