Default Switches On Manual Tranny Shifter

thanks Whit, but i was looking for something to hold the switches for my fog and emergancy lights that would put them at my finger tips, instead of on the dash.
I saw a pic of someones truck that had moved there switches but i cant remember who it was.

My buddy found the aluminum box somewhere, I'll have to ask him, and the wires run through a piece of 1/2" gas pipe I replaced the factory shifter with. You could use the factory **** over again if you so wished.

Top switch does MAP disconnect duty, its a single throw
Middle controls backup lights, double throw
Bottom controls high idle solenoid, single throw
