68 back up light switch w/ operating peg

[68RT440]

Hey guys, im rebuilding the column in my 68 and cant seem to find a replacement back up light switch anywhere. also, I had to break the peg in the column that operates the back up switch. I have been trying to find these items everywhere with no luck. Does anyone know who sells these? If anything Id like to find the operationg peg since I can probably freshen up the switch..thanks guys

The factory P/N for the switch is 2857240, for the pin is 2883211. Try the usual NOS vendors.

Some folks that have found the pin report that it doesn't really fit right.

Awesome, thanks a lot. Im glad that atleast now I have a part number for the pin. Im sure its still gonna be like finding a needle in a haystack tho...

Brad's has the pin but not the switch, price is breathtaking as usual:

Its funny you mention that. I bought the pin from brads last night, and I got a switch off of NOS Mopar Auto Parts on ebay abut a half hour later... I did have to give my right arm but I guess if ya gotta have it...

It'd be nice if you did a followup on how well the pin worked for you.
