According to Jim Carter, the 55-56 Suburban tailgate light could be fitted with a factory backup light per this pic. The switch was mounted to the shift linkage on the column. Can't find that option for 57-59. That original light and it's original switch can be found on the same isle as the chicken lips and hens teeth.
Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
