A superswitch would have been the ideal choice, but it can be made to work without one.
A Tele 4-way with a push/pull will give you the position 1, 2, 4 & 5 sounds with the push/pull switching the bridge + neck parallel to the OOP-cap-resistor option. The down side is that due to the way the 4-way has to be wired any position that includes the neck pup will be affected whenever the push/pull is up (including the neck by itself). That's fine if you don't mind having those extra sounds, but they may not be that useful and it would potentially mean having to play with the push/pull a lot more than you want to.
What may be a cleaner and more effective option is to have a Tele 4-way for the position 1, 2, 4 & 5 sounds and then use a 250K Fender S1 switch with a Tele knob for the volume. The trick would be when the S1 is 'up' you'd get the normal Tele 4-way sounds, but when it's pressed 'down' it would bypass the lever switch entirely and directly connect your position 3 OOP-cap-resistor + bridge combo to the volume. That would allow you to go from any setting to the OOP setting with just one press. I sketched it out quickly this afternoon and I think it will work as described and should fit without any need for cavity mods... if you can source the switch and matching knob.
The tone switching can be done with a push/pull for the tone pot so that should have everything covered.
If you want I can draw up a layout for you when I get some time.
