If you are interested in an original there is one on E Bay right now. It's the one with the rectangular end facing the driver.
Need to specify Rallye or standard cluster… although tipical the Rallye is the one Everyone misses LOL

It's a "standard" "D" shaft.
The trick is finding one that clears the recess and can be operated.
Radio Shack would have been your friend.
Perhaps a place like Mouser, Digi-Key, or McMaster-Carr.
OEM are insanely priced.
Would be a good quality 3D print project but the blue stripe will drive up the production cost.
I bet people would buy a solid black one for $15.
Possibly in droves.

Post a Parts Wanted ad in the Marketplace forums. Someone will have one or a switch with one on it.
My reply got deleted but 70-4 E-body ones work fine as it clears the recess enough. There was one on a '73 Rallye Charger when I bought it. Looks like this..

really? thats great! let me look for one. how does it attach? assuming it has a half circle shape or circle in the back?
Yea it has the same size 1/2 moon cut out and metal tang as an original b-body one..
All round Mopar wiper switches of that era are basically the same (including the half moon cut for the knob) just changing the lenght of the shaft itself to accommodate to the right cluster…
Pre 71 switches are diff on the diameter size and prong disposition for the plug on rear from post 72, but carrying same wiring and functions.

Yes for 68/70 B and C bodies, not for same years A bodies. Hence why I said round. Obviously excludes the rocker kind.

You are welcome and it doesn’t really look out of place especially if you paint it blue like a wiper one should be…
