Question About Neutral Safety Switch and Van Tilt Column

OK, so I recently discovered my tilt was definitely from a van. I figured that out when reading about neutral safety switches. I've read the FAQ about moving neutral safety switch down the column. I have two questions about my need to do so for those that are in the know for how neutral safety switches work.

1. I shortened my column shaft so now my neutral safety switch location is physically further down the column. What do i need to look for to determine if I still need to move the switch location even further down? In other words, what is the significance of the actual location of the mounting hole? Is it just a clearance issue?

2. The truck did not come with a neutral safety switch so I'm trying to figure out if I have to buy a van neutral safety switch or if I can use one for the truck. i know there is a difference in the plugs, but not sure if there is a diff in functionality. I would rather just buy one for a truck since I have a Painless wiring kit that has adapters designed to plug to a truck's neutral safety switch. I'm just not sure if the truck switch will work in the van column.



Any help anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.
