    Can anyone clarify if a 72 with floor shift has a 2nd rod up to the column to activate the reverse lights and neutral safety switch, if so is it the same rod as a column shift. Did an have the switches on the floor shifter.

    Most Mavericks ive dealt with has the switch on the trans, My 74 has a factory floor shift, but no second rod.

    Yes...there is a rod that goes to the column. It is not for any switch....it is for the locking steering column.

    The neutral safety switch is on the tranny when it is a factory floor shift.

    I don't think it is the same rod as a column shift car.
