Period style push pull switch for my 71 wagon

I want to replace some toggle switches with period style push pull switches. I would like to use the correct (matching) knob and bezel for a 71 bronco. Has anybody found a switch that will accept the factory nut and bezel and knob? I gave thought to using the emergency flasher switch however it is a bit expensive, supposing a aftermarket switch is available. I will be using with a relay so no need for a high amp switch. I have made a lot of assumptions on what might work and am hoping someone has done it and will share info.
Thanks,

look up Cole Hersee for the switches, the bezels might be a tougher find. might also find something in the marine world they use to use allot of pull switches back in the day. Might try great lakes skipper for any surplus.

I used “blank” windshield wiper bezels for a fog light switch and for a remote hood latch pull. If you are able to find the switches with threads, the bezels could help you finish the project. Depending upon the threads on the switches you may need to get creative with your own nuts and washers to attach everything together.

Cole Hearse makes a line of pull switches. Some are even 2-stage, off-on-on.
Can't address the bezel side if it, but for the knob some of the factory ones are held on with a set screw. Those are the ones I used.

I have the same switches in my boat. One is anchor/navigation lights. The other is bilge pumps
