That wire isn't needed then. I'd follow it to it's other end as it may have been connected to a hidden kill switch at one time if there was no tach in the truck.
Still over the past 60 years the truck has probably been through several owners and had things added, things removed an wires left behind by previous owners. I'm still dealing with the wiring my uncle and his cowboy buddies did on the 71 GMC i inherited from him. The way they wired some things up makes no sense and doesn't work.
