I have had a push button switch for a few years and love it. I used Ford truck solenoid wired through the GP indicator light and a 15 amp push button switch from Napa. Its mounted above my left knee so I can glow and crank the engine conveniently. Solenoid is mounted on the passenger side fender, forward of the battery. A "continues service" type solenoid might be a better choice but a spare one from my old F250 works fine for me.
