Posted this on the 'trans' forum, w/no responce.Have a '65 223 w/ a borg-Warner T-98 transmission. It has no sending unit for a back-up lite. Does have several plugs in the side, where maybe one could go. Does anyone know what year back-up lites became standard on Ford trucks?Thx. Jim

Not positive on this but thinking BU lights started about 67 and the switch would be found on the top cover.

Thanks for the reply. If thats accurate, I'll probably have to jury-rig something.My shift pattern for reverse is over (pass. side) and forward, as opposed to the later T-18, ('67 and newer) over and back.Maybe I can make somehing with a simple pushbutton switch mounted externally on the top, activated by the shift lever.Jim

Or you might find a later top cover with a switch. This could be changed without pulling the Trans.

If you are into light fabrication projects you can probably add a switch to the existing top. The shift rails have to slide into the top from one end or the other. I expect the shift rail hole will be closed by a plug. You could probably remove the plug and tap the hole to fit a reverse switch. Maybe you would need to add a spacer into the system. If you do this, please take pictures and post them.
