Reverse light switch

On my 1971 C10 my reverse lights do not work. I found that I do not have the switch that mounts on the column. I have a three on the tree 3 speed. I have searched this forum and the usual websites (LMC, Brothers, Classic Industries), but I cannot find where to purchase a replacement switch and screw(s)??

Thank you for any and all help,

Jeremy

Re: Reverse light switch

I got the switch from LMC about a year ago, the screws I re-used from the broken switch. IIRC they were small, short hex head machine screws.

from LMC order:
36-0661 BACK UP LIGHT SWITCH 3 SPEED ($14.95)

Re: Reverse light switch

I got one for my 67 3ott from board vendor Wes at classic heartbeat and he's on your coast. Never bought from lmc and from all the members reviews I probably never will.

Re: Reverse light switch

Just went to the Classic Heartbeat Website, and he's only about a 4 hour drive from Vancouver BC. I take it his parts are of good quality?

They don't show a picture of the manual column switch and the pic they do show is for the column auto shift with the combo neutral safety and reverse light switches. They incorrectly indicate that pic is also for the Manual 3 spd shifter instead of indicating no picture.

Currently it's on page 181 of their catalog.

Re: Reverse light switch

The GM part number is 3745921. The one in my truck was broken and I got a NOS one from eBay.

There is a square part that is covered in metal that actually sticks into the column and the plastic inside was broken....

Re: Reverse light switch

I just ordered one from Wes at classic heartbeat. I enjoyed supporting a member.

Now, does anyone know if it takes one or two screws? Sizes? Mine was missing so I don't have the original screws.

Thank you for the continued help,

Jeremy

Re: Reverse light switch

There are two screws. Don't know the size off the top of my head, as I recall they were smaller (5/16 or 1/4 wrench/socket maybe) hex heads.

Sorry I can't be more helpful than that.

from here

thrd hex
#6 1/4
#8 1/4
#10 5/16
#12 5/16
