Any 5-button truck pushbuttons will fit ('57-'64). In
addition to Imperials, late '56 NYs and 300s had TFs.

"2" and "1" will fully function as long as you have
the buttons for them and the cable adjusted correctly.
I'm told the park switch works off a separate cable
and can be located away from the button box. I seem to
recall a Dodge exclusive for '56 that nobody talks
about but that might work perfectly into your plans;
over to the right of the steering column, where the
shifter was in '55, seems to me there's a park switch
of some sort. I'd be thinking of that as the place to
hook up the park switch cable for the 727.
