57 Headlight Switch Wiring

[LDO]

I'm working on my 57 3100 and was wondering if anyone had a picture of the light switch and what wires go to which terminal. I've got the service manual but man that thing is a beast to try and read or make sense of.

Many thanks...

Here you go. You'll have to put the two pages together to get the big picture.This is what i used as a general reference, it answered any quetions that i had during the wiring process without incident.I hope this helps.

Similar wiring issue...

I have an issue with my wiring on my 57 3100. Is there anyone out there that may have a picture of the original wiring of the ignition switch and the light switch along with the gauge cluster? There is a brown wire that comes out of the harness that goes to the gauge cluster, and I cannot figure out where it goes. Any help would be great appreciated. By the way, the truck starts and runs so I know its not anything with that. This is a 235, 3 speed (column shift) with floor foot starter.

Pictures of light switch

The wire colors should be correct except for the dome light.
There is an Orange one in the center.
