Welcome to the forum
You started a topic in the Uncategorised category of the forum when its description explicitly tells you not to
Your topic has been moved to a relevant category. Please be careful in future when deciding where to start new topics
Start by having a look at some basic examples; they describe wiring and give you a piece of code to experiment with. E.g. file/examples/02digital/button
Sounds like fun. I wonder if anyone anywhere ever did something like that. Maybe if you googled it would turn something up:
Arduino button box
Arduino button box American Truck Sim
Just maybe.

@alto777 Good idea 
I tried the second search suggestion, and guess what: many examples of toggle switches!
There are possible 2 dozen different types of toggle switches. Can you please identify the switch you are using?
Just the regular on off switches
I guess that means a SPST, or single pole, single throw. What type of connections will you make to the switch? Does the switch come with wire or does the switch have push-on terminals or does the switch have ring terminals for you to solder the wire to?
It has ring terminals so I can solder the wire to I have been googling the matrix on how to do also
