Is there a source for the red two speed button for the electric switches, I've looked thru Eaton and noting pops up on a search.

There are a few 2 speed axle switches with knobs on ebay.

MY 57 GMC 370 has a small lever in the gear shift knob. Was this the original 2 speed axel switch? But it also has the red button clamped to the shift lever with a heater hose clamp.

There are always aftermarket import shift switches on eBay, but they are Asian imports of poor quality. Ever so often NOS switches appear. It doesn't make any difference if they are in a Ford, International or GM box. They are all the same.

Got mine from NAPA. They only have the switch, not the wiring harness connector. I don't remember the part number but wrote it down I think. It was an import I'm sure

I bought the switch and harness from my local BIG truck parts store a few years ago...they had it on the shelf. The switch was about $10, don't remember the harness cost.

I was thinking just the button itself not the complete switch, but that cheap I'll see Napa, I hadn't thought about them in this case.
Thankyou
