I have a 66 Suburban, and at the base of the 4 Speed Shifter, is a round electrical switch that is activated by a lever on the shifter itself. I am assuming that this is for the back up lights? I have looked at a couple of new parts sites and checked with a used supplier, and have come up with nothing. Is this a factory item, and are these available somewhere?

That's the way they were built. I don't know whether they are still available.

Don't remember but it is probably what is called a momentary switch, "normally off" type. There are many switches that would probably work. the mounting will be the biggest thing to match. if you send me a pic or two of the switch I will find you one. Be sure to send a pic of it mounted also. I had a 66 Suburban and fixed this switch but that was 5000 sleeps ago. I would try a dealer just in case.
