Part identification

Hi,

I just bought a 68 C10 and learning my way around it. I've got some new wiring and old and it's really hard to figure out what is really being used. I've got something hanging below my dash. Can anyone identify what this is?

Thanks in advance.

Neutral Safety Switch makes sure you can't start unless in park or neutral.

Re: Part identification

Top of the column near the firewall, (automatic trans), this bolts to the steering column. Not only a neutral switch but back up lamps also.

Purple neutral start.............green back ups

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
