Another question about my 1973 K-10. It came with a three speed, column shift. A previous owner had changed it to a floor shift and just had a switch on the dash to turn the backup light on. It is a Hurst shifter, but it is a generic one; evidently no one makes a dedicated shifter for this transmission. We have a safety inspection here in WVa and I don't know if it will pass; they have been getting more and more strict.
Many years ago, I stole a plunger switch off of an old riding mower and it worked for several years. I had it mounted somewhere underneath where it was activated by one of the shifter levers. I am due for an inspection, so I was checking all of the lights and found that the backup lights no longer worked, except with the switch on the dash. I had a guy replace the clutch and had him replace all of the seals, because he removed engine and transmission to do the work. I don't know if the switch fell off, or if maybe he removed it. He has gotten out of the mechanical work, so he doesn't answer his phone.
I searched and all I found was about the switch for the column shift at the lower end of the column. I can't switch it back to a column shift, because something broke inside the column.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a switch that I could use and how I could mount it?
TIA,
Brady
