i bought the truck last month its my dream truck but its rough previous owner was not kind to it....anyway the guy i bought just has it hanging on the E-brake and i really wanna have it where its suppose to go...i tried the steering column but didnt fit unless he messed something up and i need to replace it...

It mounts on the column with the ignition switch using the same mounting holes. Or just get a floor switch and mount it on the floor.

what do i need to mount it on the floor

Just get a chevy floor switch at any parts store. The wires should plug right in.

in 79 wasn't it on the floor to begin with? Check for a hole on the floor sort of under the E Brake.
I know it the fulsize truck lineup 80-81 is on the floor
but on my 82 Caballero its on the Lefty righty switch with the wiper controls. Not an apples to apples comparison but its still GM I'm thinking they would've switched over to column switch at the roughly the same time

Mine is a '79 and it was on the column but I switched it to the floor.
