    Does anyone know where the back-up light switch on my '73 with the 3 speed manual tranny on the colum? The back-up lights are not working and I would bet that the switch should be replaced. I would think it is on the trans somewhere but I couldn't see where it would be. Also, who sells replacements?

    I think there is one on eBay right now...might check there first. If not, check your local parts house and see if there is a listing on it. I'm sure more than Mavericks used the same switch so they may just have one or can order you one.

    Thanks, now I know what to look for. I work at an auto parts store(Parts Plus), and none of my warehouses have such an item. Not even a part #. So... if anyone has a part # or the part let me know.

    Thanks for the help,
    Matt
