You either need the complete switch "kit" that has the switch and bracket (5 in the picture) you already have and a Rod (8) and Clip (9) you need. In addition to the kit you also need a relocation bracket (10).
The kit is expensive and all you really need is the rod and clip...
I put together a list of some of the parts I used in my conversion. Flamered I send you a PM

That looks like a really good start. Later style transmission, has both shift linkage's, dipstick tube and probably the dipstick, trans fluid lines intact, muffler bracket, mechanical speedometer drive, both sensors and still has the wiring connector to protect the plug. Looks clean, no tell...
I've never seen a matching male and female connector where the pins didn't match each other when connected together. The wiring diagram with one set of pins listed represents that. In other words, both sets of pins are expected to match the wiring diagram or they wouldn't have drawn it that...
So I wrote the above sentence after I took the pictures and figure it all out. I forgot the solder side IS labeled as well. The switch connector isn't assembled wrong.
I took the switch apart the rest of the way so I could make sure it matched the schematic above. When I first started to check the wiring of the pins to the switch I kept getting lost quickly because I would chase a wire from the pin to the switch and it wouldn't go where I expected it to. I'd...
I bought a 4L80 and a 242 low mileage take out for $1200 with TQ converter. A transmission crossmember $75, new factory 4 speed shifter $450, shifter rods $50, new rear drive shaft $120, front drive shaft and rebuild it $150, rear yoke $25, speedo $100. I used the Quick Shift 4 and couldn't...
I bought the switch a couple of weeks ago and then had to figure out how to get it apart. Not knowing how it was put together and what to expect, I wanted to be careful with the disassembly so as to not damage it. Of course I tried to pull it apart by hand after I removed the silicone seal on...
I haven't been working on the truck much but I have been enjoying it. In another thread (by Mogman) there was some discussion on how the stop lights work and a way to rewire them to add a little safety. I liked the idea and looked for a different way to implement the same basic changes. I...
I've been in it since early on, I make up about 1/3 of the posts at this point LOL. I don't get the negative comments. I think it is quite simple, if you don't like it, don't do it but why crap on others if they want to do it to their truck? Why does anyone care about how my brake lights...
LOL, partially. In my case, I seem to forget about the lights until I go to use my directional the first time and it doesn't work. Then I turn them on. I'd say that is about 1/3 of the time. The bad part is I didn't have brake lights until I turned them on. I don't want to get rear ended...
There are certainly some that are capitalizing on the demand for some parts. To the shifter itself, it is still available directly from AM General in costs about $600, new from the manufacture (See pic below). Depends what you want for your truck. The new one has the correct gate obviously as...
Since you asked and made me think about it more, I came up with another version that would retain the BO Driving light in the front. It would also allow the brake lights be shut off for BO driving but would allow the regular brake lights to function when the switch is in the off position. It...
