Remember the 77-1/2 split. If the switch is on the tranny it was used for many years and may still be Ford stock.

Neutral Safety/ Backup light switch ?
the colum mounted switch should be under the dash, on the top side of the colum. i think the colums with that switch are very thin, about 2" tube, but the 78-79 colums are closer to 4" around, and covered by a plastic tube from the shift ring to the dash...

before I'd buy a new switch, I'd look to see what the problem with the backup light circuit actually is?
I remember having a time with a switch like that on my '56' Ford sedan. But replacing the switch didn't fix it, and the parts store wouldn't take the switch back.
