I occasionally see aftermarket kits on eBay for sale.If I'm not mistaken,some of the earliest examples included a manual on/off switch.That's an example of low-tech, appropriate technology.
I found one that would be period correct,you'd need to provide a switch.Looks pretty cool:

Back in the 60's, Ford used a simple plunger switch that the reverse shifter arm would contact when engaging reverse gear. Granted, they are external linkage, but you could probably rig up something on the top of the trans that would do the same thing using the shifter lever to push it in and actuate the lights.

If you go with the ibuzzard switch you should have a dash light along with it. One night I got pulled over for a white light shining to the rear when I forgot to turn it off. I have some kind of generic mechanical hot rod brake light switch that came with a bunch of parts once and I thought about setting it up on top of my fridge 4 spd. I built a rear bumper last week and mounted a backup light under it but so far it's just a decoration, so this is a timely thread..
