So much better than what I bet we were all thinking - some Jame Bond style flip cover. Love the magnet route!
One question in the devil's advocate category: if we're bumping the button with our knee... won't our knee catch that lower left corner of the cover?

it's possible! I drive like a nascar driver so my knees are really bent and whenever i would accidentally hit the button, it was head on rather than a swiping motion. but of course, YMMV!
Knee: makes sense as my seat if pretty far forward due to stearing wheel position motors being inop. It was always a mistory unitl now.
Ordered...santa treats me right!
Would be really cool if you could shape the exterior to match the switch profile. Similar to hazard switch, and vapor smooth. I’d but one for sure if you did that

roger that. I'll work on that once i finish the 98-02 cover (which should be this week). to be clear, you are just wanting the rounded corners of the OEM diff lock switch? or are you wanting the rounded corners and the dimensions to match the hazard switch? if the latter, the cutout for the switch would not be in the center, which is fine, but worth noting.
I would like the cover to look just like the switch it is covering. Rounded corners ,rounded profile and smooth . I realize you cannot make it the same size as the center diff switch, that’s why I mentioned the hazard switch as a size comparison. I think it would look really nice if you could make it look as stock as possible.
Great idea! I am in how do I get one?
Ordered...Thanks!

sold out of the first listing so i had to make a new one. anyone who is interested, please use this link now:
Love the DIY spirit on ‘Mud!
Has anyone tried inverting the antenna and CDL button positions so the CDL is higher up? Or are they tied to those locations on the dash?
One thing I liked about my 62 was the interchangeability of the dash rocker switches.
got mine 
Purchaser mod: ran some tape along bottom edge on both the mount and door. Just flip down when needing to actuat/un-actuat. Prevents magnetized door from getting lost.
