If you have an NP435 you could keep an eye out for a newer shift tower from a 1967 or later NP435

If you look at the pics of this one on eBay you might see the red connector on the drivers side of the tower. That was what they used to provide the ground path for the backup lights when you shift to reverse. Simple swap if you find one reasonably priced.

Unfortunately I've got the T-18. I'll have to do some research to see what else they put these in and if there's a swap I could do.

I have a C6 trans so it was easy to wire it into the circuit but I did add a switch so it could be turned on at any time. It is bright enough to give a little help backing up. https://www.lmctruck.com/1957-72-for...amp-components
^ This is the optional cargo lamp used on 1967/79 F100/350. It's the same as 1964/65 Thunderbird backup lamp.

T-Birds have two of these, right/left is the same, located below the tail lamps on the valance panel.
