not stock so follow the wires and see where they go

It's an after market switch, follow the wire and you found the accessories at the end!

had one in the exact location in my 69. went to a foot well light mounted on the same screw/nut as the choke slide.

yep, follow it. could be anything. think of the possibilities..... could be a treasure chest at the end. or maybe not.

I had one like that on a truck that switched the gauge for the aux gas tank. The valve on the floor just changes the fuel flow. Could be the same kind of setup.

Buffer amplifier?? If you have one, I have been looking for it ever since I learned to use a floor buffer in the USAF. Hoping that device helps the floors look better.

dang! I was gonna say floor safe.
Great Minds think Alike!



It's a common place, becouse there is a stock hole there that does nothing, and the toggle fits right in there.

Sir Fisher 10-17-2007 09:28 PM

Re: What is this switch for??
 
you guys are hilarious!!! the switch doesn't do anything... as far as i can tell; maybe the safe is emptied?!?!? if i think of anymore stupid questions, you can bet i'll be posting it!! thanks!!

On Some Of These Trucks, People Installed The Toggle Switch To Operate Thier Back Up Lights. That May Be What It Is Or Was For!

It's the cheap KILL switch so no one can still the truck. What's wrong with all of you. That's easy! :crazy::crazy::crazy::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

That's where I have my fuel pump switch located. Once I get the pump wiring worked out, I'll be using it for my bumper fogs.

I had a switch in that spot to activate trailer brakes, I dont know what kind of brakes, but it applied twelve volts to the six pin plug on the bumper.

The previous owner boogered up the wiring. I can't figure out how to make them work :confused:
