HELP: Battery cut off switch!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have one of these battery cut off switches?

I lost my red switch and obviously cant start my truck now.
Does anyone have one and would like to give me some dimensions on it? I can get a guy at work to make one on a lathe if I had the dimensions.
THANKS

I would only need the diameter of the red shaft, the diameter of the brass pin, and the distance from the bottom of the red shaft to the brass pin.

Just take the cable off one side & bolt it on the other until you can get a handle made.
