Kramer,
The earlier members have given you some good web or order sources but perhaps you can find them in your local auto parts (chain ) stores. I am in Arizona and the Checker or Shucks/Kragen and Auto Zone stores have the aircraft style cover switch you want for 10 bucks per.
The switch most often found with the cover are SPST single Pole = single throw and are toggle switches rated at about 10 amps max. For the CRANK feature a MOMENTARY or spring loaded return type would be needed and it will also need to be closer to 50 amps than the common 10 amp switch.
How about using your key switch for the start/crank and run features it already has and simply break the (source to the coil ) wire with the covered toggle switch. You would have the looks and ability to kill ignition or turn off engine by closing the covered switch, this lets the key switch you already have handle the heavy current needs and the light amp needs of the toggle. have fun !!
