Default transbrake button mounting locations

Where are you guys with tbrakes mounting the buttons in the cab? I've got a 01 and I'm building a 80e with a d3 brake. I've already got a nx switch panel for the 4wd cubbie hole and it's full with nitrous arm, tbrake arm, line lock, and purge. I'd like to put it on the steering wheel but all I can find are push to talk buttons and I'm not sure if I want to risk accidently hitting the button while going down track. Thanks and show me some pics of what you got.

I had the D1 brake and had it mounted on the shifter since i already had my hand on it.. now i have the D3 one and not sure where ill put it. i might end up with an aftermarket steering wheel and put the linelock and t brake buttons on it

Yeah I've been thinking about that but I'd like to keep my stock wheel until I have to put a cage in it which shouldn't be that long anyways.

Not sure what year truck you have but if it's a 4 speed you could get a newer 6spd shift lever and use one if the manual gear select buttons (+ or -).

Well the truck was a t56 swap and I ripped out all the column **** and the shifter cable so I'm going to get a console shifter to make it easier and it would look better imo. This is what I was talking about for on the stock wheel. I just don't know if I'd hit it or not accidently.

I use the horn for my line lock, but I don't know it would work well for the trans brake. Light pressure with my thumbs and hold the two bottom spokes of the wheel.
