Where did they come from ?
They were either made by or for Ford.
I'll see if I can find a pic.
You would have to check the schematic of the circuitry to determine if a toggle would work. I would think it would need more than a basic toggle switch though.

If you find one and happen to get a part number, post it up here. I think mine is going out on my '79 F-350.
Just so you know, mine is in the dash near the heater controls and it is a factory location. I have seen early 70's model Fords that had a manual selector switch on the floor by the door. However, I don't know if this was an add on by the owner or if it was factory.

A simple toggle switch might work to activate the selector valve. But the stock switch has more contacts than a simple toggle. The switch also switches the gas guage. So it has to have contacts for the valve, the guage and 2 sending units.
And the stock location for the switch is the right side of the climate control with or without A/C

My 74 F250 has a factory switch built into the heater/vent controls that switches the gauge reading from tank to tank. There is also a floor mounted lever that switches fuel from tank to tank.
