But I don't know about the F-bodies.
Again, I'd expect that to be in the service manual.
I was gonna say that the switch would be with the shifter assembly...but your posted illustration shows no switch there. So I guess it does activate the backup lights via the column.

Finding the exact original switch is going to be a big task.
I ordered a Chevy carb mount bracket that looks like it will have more flexibility to use functionally similar switches. It was around $10 so I ordered it.
I could work on the readily available switches that are mounted at the gas pedal. I would have to find that bracket. That may be a better route.
Thank you for your information and direction. Service manual, who would of thought that would help?
