 Same thing that happened to mine. The aluminum shell that the shift arm
 goes into cracked inside as well. I'm going to try to get that little peice
 welded back on so that I have a spare if it ever happens again.  I plan on
 keeping this truck for a long time.

I don't know where mine is, I havn't really looked. I have a schematic for my
entire truck here beside me but it doesn't have the firewall connector 
included in the drawing so I can't tell where the connector is. Although
according to it the neutral safety switch and the backup light switch are 
both part of the same unit.  So my guess is that it is down on the tranny.
I did look in the Hollander cross-reference manual today at the library and 
found out that I can use from a '73 to a '77 steering column for mine.
Ttyl,
Landon
