1968 manual column shift backup lights switch problem
My 68 backup lights did not work and I found out the switch was broken. This truck has the original column and never has been touched. I removed the switch and looked on the internet for a replacement like the one I took off but couldn't find one. (Below is a couple of pics)
I checked with O'reilly's and they said they had one that would work. I went and got it but couldn't get it to work. The one I took off has a single spring loaded post that looks like it is pushed when going to reverse and springs back when not in reverse. The replacement is a larger non spring loaded sliding switch. Anyone have any ideas on a replacement?

Update.
Did some more searching on the internet and found the switch I was looking for. The original part number was GM 3745921. I found one on this site: https://autopartsobsolete.com/1958-7...m-3745921.html

Can you take them apart and use the spring in the new one? Just thinking even though it hurts to do so. Good luck.
