Reverse light switch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 68 c10, 3 speed manual. The guy before me converted to a floor shift. Anyone know of a good universal reverse light switch so I can loose the dash switch that was installed???? Thanks

EDIT - NEVERMIND EVERYTHING FROM HERE DOWN - Just re-read that you said converted to 3-Speed MANUAL. I'm a bonehead.

Lokar makes one...I am a fan of their stuff. Have quite a bit of it.

P/N is BL-1400U

Can get it at Jegs.

Also can get it here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LOKAR...temZ8076210116
(I have bought from that seller on eBay before with no probs).

Summit probably sells it too - along with a whole host of speed shops if you want to search for a low price.

it'd be a lot cheaper and easier making up a plate and getting a switch from radio shack or somehere than trying to modify the auto tranny rev lite switch pictured for use with your manual 3speed tranny and linkage

What kind of shifter is it - Most shifters have that as a accessory / I know B&M and Hurst offer it for most of their shifters -
cdowns is right though - they sell those micro swithes at O'reilly's and you can make a bend tab for reverse.
